Is today day 20 or 21? If it is day 21 I would bump my temperture up at least .5 degree with my next hatch.If this is day 20 you had you temperture perfect.

it is 21, i was getting worried earlier. should i bump it now or just for future reference?

I would just leave it but maybe next hatch bump it up.It could be your themometor or just the incubator itself.You will learn everytime you do a hatch something that you will want to change to improve for next time.I know alot of people that dont get any chicks their first time so looks like you had a pretty good idea about what to do .Now let's get some chicks out of them eggs.If you just started getting pips it could still be 12-24 hours before they start to hatch.Be patient and don't try to help any out.

Whew, ok thanks!
I was just going to start worrying that they have gotten through the membrane yet LOL

First baby chick hatched!
3 more BLRW pipped

I am so excited! my first little hatchling!
The bator foged up pretty good after the hatch, I let out one of the plugs but you can still see the chick in the pic. It is making a huge ruckus in there! I hope it wakes the rest up to hatch...
