day 23, marans, Barnies and OE's

[susannemw]

5 hatched, one pipped and died. Any hope for the 11 eggs left? Today marks day 23, no pips or peeps from the ones left. Should we pull the plug yet?? Candling them was not possible, too dark so I don't even know if they ever were and developing. Any way to tell if they are any live ones?

anyone know what the max is for there to be more expected to hatch??

Only thing I can suggest is give them more time and do a float test.

So, we float tested 11 maran, barnie and OE eggs that are on day 23 fully believing they were duds. According to the float test, all are viable and may still hatch, so back in the incubator they went. Is this test reliable, and does this mean that we may still have babies on the way??????? PLease tell me yes!!!

Yes, you could indeed.
