Yes they are in the house right next to the incubator so the eggs can still hear them incase that helps at all with stimulation of the rest of the eggs. I also went and got a heat lamp bulb, as the regular 100 watt bulb wouldnt get the brooder over about 80, the brooder is on the floor which may have been why..the heat lamp is good, the temp reading about 90 and really is about as low to them as it can go, so i placed a small basket in the corner on its side like a little hut and put some clean straw in that like a little nest, they love it and are using it to rest, but they seem to be very comfy and the temperature they're at, they walk around playing, eating and drinking fine, sometimes they just plop right down where they are standing and nap, sometimes they go into the little hut, i will be sleeping in the living room with them so i will keep a close eye but i dont think i can it any warmer in there but i don't think they need it any hotter going by how they are acting, they seem perfect! Im concerned about the other 7 eggs as i have seen no movement and ive heard no pips, its just 21 days today, i hardly lost any degrees or humidity when i grabbed out the chicks &broken shells as i had a hot wet sponge there ready to go and threw it in 1st then did what i needed to do, it never got below65%and was back up to 75%within like 2 minutes, never got below 99 and was back up to 101-102 quickly so i think im good with the opening of it i dont think that will ne an issue with the rest. These guys were hungry, they ate and drank right away, so smart i showed them each once in the food then water and as soon as chick #1 (the leader) started chowing down they all followed...so adorable i just love them! Of course my high prey drive pit wants to eat them, so she will be loving with her electronic collar in for now! U don't even need to use it once it's on she knows what it does and doesn't make mistakes..lol

Are these a different breed than the ones that already hatched?
If you don’t see any pips, personally I’d candle them.

Sorry, I went back to check. If these are the dark eggs, that could account for the slower hatching. I’d still candle them if day 21 and no pips yet.
