LOL! That happened to me when I first started incubating. I had a cheap and nasty Chinese one and totally cooked my eggs

Nothing hatched, nothing even developed and they all had to chucked away. The thermostat was way off when I double checked with one I knew to be correct.
After that hatch my next ones using that were not too bad, but the incubator needed a lot of babysitting.
What incubator are you using now? I need one that is babysitter free

Right, lol
 
How is your chick progressing? You dont need to do anything for 24 hours after external pip. It should have hatched by then.
My chick I think it's happy, I haven't seen any progress yet, but I think it's only been 19 hours, Im very SURE I heard very soft cheeping, Is very soft bad? Is the chick sick?? When will it hatch?

They can take up to 24 hrs to hatch. As long as you are hearing cheeps it is ok. They take a big rest sometimes before zipping. I'm sure @Yorkshire coop will respond soon with way more experience and advice than I have. Hang in there and let it do its thing
