Day 23 and no movement or Pips on shipped Silkie eggs

[jamielee143]

Well this is depressing, day 23 and I just candled all the eggs n there’s no movement at all This is with an expensive freakin nature right forced air incubator too I work from home n have been monitoring these temps n humidity like it’s my job. I even bought two additional hygrometer/thermometers for the incubator to make sure the temps n humidity were right n used my husbands electric temperature probe he used when installing furnaces to make sure the calibration was correct n occasionally checked the temp in the incubator with that to make sure it was perfect I wanna cry but at least I saved one right I live in NY and had these shipped from Alabama n spent a lot of money I seen one pip in the middle of the egg that I had to help hatch n that was the only one that survived. The only reason I helped that one was because he popped way below the air cell. I marked all the air cells. I dunno what is going on ... how do they make it this far n then not hatch or progress?

I would wait a few more days. Shipped eggs are hard to hatch. Some can take an extra day or two. It is very hard to see movement at this stage the chicks are taking a lot of room.

Sorry for your loss. I had 2 bad experiences with shipped eggs. Ordered rare eggs twice only had one hatch. No he is the man of the hen house.
