Hatch date May 17! anybody else?

I'm sure more will hatch. The humidity goes up after they hatch too. The pieces of shell should come off on their own. Mine almost always pip shyly so I don't see them til they hatch. Congrats on the baby

I agree with snazzyboots, they are very strong babies I have seen them hatch without even adding any water at all cause they hatched too early and I didn't get to do the lock down routine. Let the little one run around and chirp inside it will stimulate the other babies and they will start rocking before you know it

i have found that a watched egg never hatches.

Sigh..... maybe taking the day off work and staring into the incubator slowed them down. They must be shy.

Mine started hatching on day 20 and so far I have 5

It is the end of day 21 now, day 22 began at 6pm. How much longer to I leave the other 5 eggs to see if any of them hatch?

I feel like all Ive done for hours is stare at the incubator...but nothing, just the one lone chick..Its been 6 hours sense it hatched, I would be expecting more to hatch soon.. or maybe not
