First time Hatcher, only one has hatched, been 2 days

[KennaFox]

Hi guys, I'm new to hatching my own eggs and all the eggs in the incubator have grown full, they move themselves around the incubator, but one hatched yesterday morning, is it possible she just beat the rest at hatching first ? Its been 22 days. Is this normal? Or do you think she's just lucky out of a bad batch? Thanks.

I would still give them a few more days. Some times this happens. Could be you temp wasn't quite right and that can sometimes delay things a bit. Of course it could be a bad hatch, it happens. But, it won't hurt to give it a few more days.

Okay thank you. There's definently live ones in there, every few hours I check they are in a different spot. I'm just worried because none have even pipped yet. Thanks she's the only one to hatch so far, pretty little RhodeBarr girl

It could take up to 25 days. 21 days is just the "standard". Did the eggs sit for a while before you put them in the incubator? Temperature or humidity could have been off. It's important to calibrate your equipment. It's rare any equipment you use is going to give spot on readings.

They only sat for about a week or so. Temp is at 100 flat, I have two thermometers on it, humidity is fine.
