I put 9 eggs in on 4.2.2020. I had 1 hatch day 22. Then number 2 at 3:30 am on day 24. As you can see number 3 is well on his or her way out too and I have another that it piping! DAY 24! I had one incident about 6 days ago we had tornadoes knocking out power to incubator. However, the thermostat inside the house is set to 80 and we are in Florida. They were never cold. Power was back on after a few hours.
I have never even heard of anyone hatching on day 24! The other one that has piped, number 4 may not even be here until day 25! Has anyone else ever experienced this?!

Oh yes! I have digital reading on both temp and humidity. I read something that said on lockdown they needed 98 degrees instead of 99.5. Just for lockdown. So they were lower the last 3 days. Yesterday I raised it back up to 99.5 because everything else I have read does not say to take it down to 98 for lockdown.
humidity at 45-55 % throughout and 65-75%on lockdown.
maybe this is why?...
Did you calibrate the thermometer in your incubator ? It almost sounds as if they incubated at too low a temperature.

Meaning maybe it’s because I took down to 98 for those 3 days.
