february hatch along

[won023]

My temp has been steadily between 99-101 the entire time. When I started them I had to use a sponge and didn't have a hygrometer yet so I am not entirely sure what it was the first two days, but after that the humidity was always at 55% until lockdown when I set it up to about 65-70%.

Eyeee should be good temp and humidity it’s good...let’s cross our fingers that all your babies hatch...

Still nothing. I am kinda sad I thought last night felt like the night and I even thought I heard a peep once but I haven't seen or heard anything since so I guess I imagined it. Hopefully they are just running a little late and will hatch soon.

Nope no pips. But I think I heard some tapping this morning. I have no idea what it sounds like though so it might be just might incubator, but it sounded different than normal.

So I decided to try a float test with about half of my eggs. I had one I was pretty certain was infertile but kept, and it sank so I was right. The others I tried all floated but from what I could tell there was no wiggling or if there was it was so light it just looked like regular water movement. One gave one good kick, but after that stopped.
So does no movement when floated at this age (20 days) mean they are dead, or is it common for living eggs to not wiggle much in the water?

Hang tight! They most likely hatch until late day 20 or day 21! Sit on your hands, you are almost there!

I did the day 7 candling and I wanted to make sure the air cells are the right size.

Humidity was at 20% the first couple days to test out dry method, but then I added water and it’s been at about 45%.Only 5/14 show signs of life not great... at all.
This is one that has been growing much more than the others it seems. When I candled it was moving around like crazy. Is this normal for day 7? The others were not moving, but the vein growth looked very good.

Sorry for bad image quality

Thank you! Encouragement is the only thing keeping me patient!
