Got a question for y'all. I have 2 eggs outta 4 that made it to lockdown on 18th day of incubation. They arenow on day 22. Last night, end of day 21, one started moving and rocking the egg. The other hasn't showed any sign of moving, so I candled both no internal pip, tapped air sac no peeps. So I placed egg in warm water it floats and shows slight moving in water. So seems both are still alive. Although one has bigger air sac..the one that has been moving since yesterday. My question is, How long to wait before checking to see if they're positioned correctly? I want to let them hatch on their own, if possible, but am ready to intervene if absolutely needed and possible to save them. These are not chicks for a breeding program or anything, just a couple from my own flock. I just enjoy raising and hatching and am new to incubating. This is only 2nd time for me. I also am teaching my children and edcutating them on development process along the way. Any help is appreciated.

Since it's day 22, I'd check now... you've read the assisting article, yes?

Pockets?? Sweet!

That's why I make my own skirts. Nobody seems to know how to put nice pockets in them. :rolleyes:


They're plenty warm, thanks.



I'd rather be full of toxins than melted into a puddle.


Beach is fun, but SO crowded. I think there were almost a hundred people there the last time I went. Well, maybe less, but there was a lot.

Watermelon? Why can't you eat that in winter too?

So? Ocation are crowded too, and 100 people IS not crowded.
Only a winter woman can ask this question! Watermelon is a summer fruit.

Yes I just did the candle and tapping, then float test. They're moving but no pips and no sound I can hear. One egg is dark so can only see air sac. The other is lighter can see movement but nothing else but air sac.

Yeah, I'd check now... Peeping and rocking for so long makes me think stuck...

I'm sorry, but what I read and heard from others was day 22 if nothing...then check. So that's what I did. I hadn't heard day 23. Now I know

Don't worry about it. He's strictly hands off, a good many of the rest of us candle whenever we see prudent and don't have issues.
