Could anyone please help, first time hatching & eggs were candled before lockdown began could see movement throughout the 18 days all was going well ... yesterday 1 egg rocked slightly but no sign of any other & day even that is now not moving what so ever .. day 23 today

Has anyone experienced this & stil had there chicks hatch ??

Did Anyone do anything to check there eggs as I have read On the internet not to open incubator at all !!!
Thank you in advance for your help

I have left eggs in the incubator till day 26 and they hatched I was so surprised I was going up there to throw them out. I would say stick with it until 26

Edited to say I'm very sorry you lost your babies, but don't give up.

It is ok to open the incubator during lockdown as long as you make sure the humidity stays up. Even if you don't know if your temperature was right, I would always candle the eggs if they go part day 21. If you see that they are still moving at that time, you should make a hole in the top of the air cell, especially if they have internally pipped. If they have not done anything else after 24 hours, I would try to help them hatch, as long as you have good instructions to follow. If you leave them in there for too long they will die. If you help, they may still die, but they may survive.

I'm going to get people saying never to do what I say, but I have not lost any of the chicks that I have helped. Especially with shipped eggs, because of the shipping, a lot of times they end up malpositioned and they can't hatch on their own.
