This is what I tell everyone too. Once one hatches, the humidity goes through the roof anyways, so why worry about it? I had a pip this morning that has progressed to making a hole it sticks it beak through and hollers. So come morning, I will have to see how that one is. I am now at 8 hours into day 21. I REALLY want these to hatch well.

hehehe but i cant wait its the first time hatching ever and im really nervous

Consider it a good thing if you don't see any pips until day 21 or at least late on day 20....that means you temps and humidity levels were just right throughout incubation. If they hatch on day 19 it means your temps were probably a little too high and if they go past day 21 it means they were a little too low.

thats the thing i had ups to 102 for over 2 hours and downs to 96 for up to 5 hours but all made it to lockdown i candle and all 8 were alive.

2 hours and 5 hours aren't going to make much difference. It's when it's for an extended period of time....like days.... that it affects the hatch more.
