Hatching help

[Barbellen]

Always best to leave eggs alone in there a few days after expected hatch comes and nothing has happened...... some are just slow to develop due to incorrect (low) temperature setting. And it wouldn't kill anyone to just leave it in there for an extra 3 days or whatever, know what I mean?

Hopefully they hatch for you, but before you try this again, please, please, verify that the temperature at the level the eggs are sitting at is correct, roughly 99.5 degrees F. Don't assume the temperature on the incubator is correct. I wish you luck. Also, humidity is important after day 18, it should be 70-75%, days 1-17, there is some debate but I would say less than 45% but not 0. Good luck and let us know how it turns out...

Thanks nothing else happened will just leave them and see but yes I didn’t realise how much there was to it

It may seem like a lot, but once you have done it several times it gets easier. I hope I have been able to help you, I hate to discourage anyone. It is not rocket science and it is not warming a frozen pizza either. It is somewhere in between. If you have anymore questions, please, we would love to help you have success with our two legged friends..

I have found that using a good quality incubator makes a huge differenc and more sucessful hatch. After this batch of eggs, get a good incubator and try again. You will be amazed.

I agree with the above advice. I have had chicks hatch up to day 25. I have seen other comments where others have had them hatch up to day 27. be patient.
