I will candle tonight and see what I can see. There are so many that I'm just hoping they are a bit delayed. If it were 2 or 3 I wouldn't worry so much.Internal pips. If there are no internal pips after 24 hours of the last hatcher, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. If there's any movement, I would give them more time, but I'm doubtful if there's no pips after 24 hours.
I will wait until day 23 or 24 for sure.I don't candle any more after hatching, so I couldn't tell you. I will say that in all 5 hatches this year, I have had at least 2 pip and hatch on day 22/23. I never shut down until day 23, but I do shut down on day 23. I've had bad experiences with late hatchers
You had some 2 days apart? That gives me some hope.I guess after you hatch enough, you get to an easier point of "long enough". I waited till end of day 24 before I convinced myself that my last 2 were gone. I had 3 day-21, 6 day-22 and one day-23 hatchers.
Deformed? From staying in too long or they were in that long because they were deformed and could not get out? What kind of deformed?Deformed day 24 chicks gave me a cold heart. Not joking, that's why I shut down on day 23
