Egg has stopped cheeping

Ok, I'll keep myself busy in that case! The worst part with this staggered hatch is that they are all getting ready one by one and I've probably got a week or more of this to go . We'll wait the 18 hours minimum and reassess - if we could just see a little external pipping going on it would be a huge relief! Thanks so much for all your help, I was beside myself with worry. I'll post updates as I get them - hopefully happy ones!!!

hopefully!! Hoping you see some action soon

The humidity seemed abit high at the start. Lockdown humidity I use is 55% - 65%.

Yes, I have now lowered the first incubator before lockdown, thank you. Lockdown is still at 70, and things seem to finally be progressing!

I've drowned chicks at 70+%. It also depends on the humidity indoors which will effect the humidity in the incubator.

Good thing you got progress happening. Wishing you luck.

Okay, good.

Were they calibrated with the salt test before use?

exciting!!! Baby will likely rest now, that little pip was lots of work! Once he's done absorbing, he should start to zip around, making lots of pips all the way around-eek I'm so excited for you!!

No, but my son is a bit of a meteorologist and has all kinds of accurate instruments.
