Day 20. No peeps or pips. Not even a wobble. I'm pretty sure it's too early to give up, but I'm not hopeful.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

all air vents open and tons of humidity? did you candle to see if they have done the internal pip?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

when did you start counting days? you dont count the day you put them in as day one. that dont start til the next day. It would be hard to believe those wont hatch. they looked too good in your last picture.

You and me both, granny!

you know, we should meet for lunch or something. umm, unless you like to cook???

I haven't candled since I locked down. Should I? I put them in on the 29th and don't think I counted the first day. I have the humidity up and the vents closed, because that's what my dry-hatch instructions said. I'll post the link.

I havent read it yet , i will but get them vents opened. they have to have air when they do the internal pip or they wont make it

 

[Granny Hatchet]

reread, it says take them out and leave them out and it also says room humidity should be 50-75 % what is your humidity? I would open it, get some water in there and keep them plugs out. you can candle a couple eggs and see if they have done the internal pip or if they are still alive. I would also mist the eggs once. warm water. tiny mist, socks, rinsed good of soap, warm/hot water and then leave it closed .

There should be air circulating during both incubation and lock down. More air circulating during lock down and hatch.
