Day 22

[PrairieRidge]

hello everyone. Well i am on day 22 and only half of my eggs have hatched. They started on day 20 and last one was late on day 21, nothing today. Not sure what to do or think. I have read all the threads saying wait till day 25. This is only my second year trying to hatch, first for this year and last year was a failure.This time i really did my homework before I set the eggs. Temps at 99.5-100 and humidity at 40-55.Had a temp spike (day 21) yesterday up to 108 for about an hour. his was before the last chick hatched. Any advice?

That temp. spike *might* have done some damages. Another thing to point out is if your incubator is still air you will get uneven heat distribution resulting in varying hatching times. I would just wait another day and if nothing has happened maybe do a quick candle and see if they are alive.

I have a fan in the incubator. I hope the spike didn't do anything
