hatching question.... I had one egg hatch!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GreenAcresFarm]

I am new to this whole incubating and hatching thing. I have a small incubator that I was hatching 4 eggs in. It has been 22 days and nothing. How long do I wait to see if it will hatch? I candled them at 7 and 14 days and there was growth.

I am only on my first hatch...but I think the general consenus will be to be patient and wait a few more days.

I second that! If the temps were low it might take a little longer!

I am still waiting. Should I just give up and open the egg? I think it's a dud. I had a VERY hard time maintaining a temp over 90* in this incubator.

the temps should be a 99.5%-101. So, if you have had a difficult itme with temps, you should give it a couple of days. Low temps can slow down hatch day. Here's praying for a good hatch for you!

yeah, at first the temp was strong at 100 then slowly crept down and stayed around 90*. It has been 27 days so far... I am starting to loose hope.

I had one of the little yellow 4 egg ones I bought on ebay, I have since upgraded to the LG still air incubator. So hopefully the next batch will hatch on time!
