Day 22

[MelissaRose]

Not that I am aware of.

Ok, I would just give them a few more days. What kind of eggs are they?

50-60% humidity for the first 18 days is rather high for most of us. Its very humid where I live and that would drown all my chicks. If it is definitely day 22 and you have no pips yet, I would candle them again to check for life.

Did you verify your meters? Confirm that your thermometer and hygrometer were accurate?

Chicken eggs. I have some that are from a golden comet, Polish, road island red, and Americana

Nice!

Don't overdo it with humidity, people! Just take it from someone who got almost a 100% hatch on just 40 percent humidity throughout incubation process! Excess humidity will do more harm than good.

Day 24 and still nothing! I am wondering if I should candle them again to see if they are still alive?

Any luck?? I’m on day 22 now, same story basically. I read so many differing accounts on humidity it’s really hard to know what to do. Hoping mine end up hatching.

Nope mine died

All of them? Sorry to hear that.
