Help! Chirping inside egg then nothing

[Mklassen93]

Good morning,
This is my first batch of hatching incubated eggs. I've done research and think i have a good idea what to expect.
We had a power outage for seven hours the first day of lockdown but it's been a couple days now and they started chirping inside the egg yesterday, wime up this morning to nothing no chirping no pipping is this normal? Are they maybe just resting? Thanks!

From my experience it can take some time for them to hatch. I absolutely hate incubators though. I've never had a good hatch in them not matter what I did. I wouldn't suggest intervening though. Could result in worse results than just losing your clutch. Resist the temptation to get in there and let them sort it out themselves. I know its tough but it beats doing harm unintentionally. And if possible get a buff hen and let her handle it. Hens do a much better job with so much less stress. I hope they hatch for you soon and are all amazing little peepers.

Thank you I'm just Reading so much I'm unsure what to do. I don't plan to intervene just wondering if it'd normal. I've read the can suffocate after 24 hours I've also read they can rest for a while. I haven't heard anymore chirping either but I'm not always with them so I don't know

Ok so I have a pip pip but there's stuff coming out and it's not moving or chirping does this look ok no chirping or moventmo from any other eggs I'm trying to distract myself and let them be but it's sooooo hard

Eggs remain a little wet inside, so a little bit of fluid is not necessarily a bad thing. Is the chicks beak right by the peep hole? It should be near the hole, breathing that glorious fresh air while it's resting. I've not done an incubator hatch only a broody hatch, but the beak is always by the hole and if I picked up the egg it would peep like crazy.

How's it looking now?

Sometimes they rest after pipping, it can take up to 24 hours for them to start to zip.
You should be able to see beak and breathing...they don't always chirp tho, even when you tap your fingernail on the bator window.
Patience grasshopper, this is the hardest part.....the waiting.

It looks the same no chirping or moving there is something that seems to be sticking out I hope it's a beak and it's resting not sure how long it should rest for

I see something but no movement or breathing

I would normally say take a deep breath and take a cup of coffee but you don't need to Coffee LOL just relax this is a process the piping chicks need to do the exercise they get escaping their shell is part of what pools their stomach and intestinal tract into their stomach. Also better make sure that the humidity is rather High inside the incubator so that they don't dry out that membrane on the inside of the egg becomes like leather

And I did see an open eye through the hole one egg although that doesn't necessarily mean it's alive now it does mean at least at some point in time it was to open the eye just be patient and more importantly it had to be at the time he was making a hole patience little grasshopper
