Not very good pictures I'm afraid. Most of them are sleeping behind the water bowl and the webcam lol.

I did candle before I set them, I didn't notice any development, but then again I wasn't looking for it. Only checking for cracks.
 
Did you candle before setting them? It's not quite hot enough yet to get early development in shipment in my opinion but I have had a chicken chick hatch on day 16 in the middle of summer because it was incubating in an insulated corner of the coop, so it can happen. Do you have a secondary calibrated thermometer? The temperature may have been a little higher in your incubator than the readout suggests or hot spots in the incubator.

This was my summer chick.

I have 3 calibrated thermometers in there, I was actually running a bit low for a bit....

98.9-100.1 throughout.
 
20 I had to put in the in the brooder because it's the only chance I'll have in the next 24 hours or so without a 3 year old helper, 3 cats, and a dog lol. 4 wet ones still drying off in the incubator, 14 eggs (6 pipped) to go.

Hopefully the humidity didn't take to big of a hit when I moved them.
