I lied. I have one external pip. Day 20 hatch is better than no hatch, right.

COME ON PIPPERS!!

ok sally ...once again...I have 2 eggs today is day 22 I see movement but can't hear peep...I had such great success with the first hatch I'm trying to figure out why I'm having trouble with these little guys. I can't see internal pip and the last one I helped was not done and had not absorbed the yolk...the one before that I helped too late! I'm losing my mind..but if I don't see or hear anything tonight I will candle again.

I did candle the two and there is an air cell I'll try to post a pic.

Was your temperature too low at any stage during incubation? That could be why they are so late. Read Sally's assisted hatch article before doing anything:

Good luck!!

if its not internally pipped or if its not chirping but moving, let them in and check every 12 hrs for that internal pip and chirping...

EVEN IF YOU HAVE CHIRPING WITHOUT AN INTERNAL PIP YOU KNOW HE IS BREATHING AND CAN FIND HIS BEAK AND GET HIM THROUGH THAT INNER MEMBRANE.....

HOWEVER, with movement and no internal pip or chirps I have RARELY had success with them, so LEAVE THEM its their best chance.... but check in 12... candle tap

#1 looks like day 18
#2 looks day 20 or 21...temp could've been low with both hence the delay I will wait
