I am a total idiot, I just checked the tracking and my log and I was off~ I am on day 22 until this afternoon. So, I stopped the turning and increased the humidity early on these poor eggs. I could kick myself.

I had one hatch late last night/early morning, and was pleasantly surprised to see another 8 external pips when I checked on the little one!

I'm guessing the incubator is a little cooler than what it states, this is the 2nd hatch I've used it on and the other was a day and a half (or so) late as well

Hope someone is having a hatch today!
I gave my eggs a quick candling this morning. They're due to hatch on Friday. Last week there were 2 eggs I was not sure about. Today, one of them was looking great and I'm so glad I did not toss it. The other looks like it has some dark matter at the top but mostly clear. I'm thinking maybe this one just gave up, but it is more developed than it was the other day. So, I'm still not certain. I just left it in for now. All the other eggs are developing well and can hardly see in them. So, I'm thinking possibly 12 have a good chance unless that other egg gets busy growing this week.

Anybody have some cute hatch pics to post?? I love seeing the chicks!

Glad they are here for you! Hopefully, they will start coming out like popcorn!

Thanks everyone...third pipper is working away at it. I thought he was a goner but he's showing some hope!  It is stressful when you really want an egg to hatch and watch them like an eagle. Especially when they are late and you have already dubbed them all dead...lol...

Yay 3 times a charm

Silly your not a idiot, that happens to the best of us. They will be fine
