i'm sure they will be fine if todays day 17 then candle them tomorrow when you put them into lockdown. make sure you raise the humidity to and dont open the bator for nothing unless you absolutly have to open it, exspecially if they pip keep it closed

candle them and put them into lockdown. watch out for external piping though if you see any that has externaly piped mist them with warm water and quickly close the bator and and dont open it

It it okay if i lockdown with the first pips?

 

[hdowden]

i wouldnt wait for an external pip although some do. if you wait to lockdown then you risk shrink wrapping the chicks by letting out the humidity thats already in the bator plus since you do go to school they may externally pip while you are there and then the humidity wouldnt be high enough

But im kinda worried my other eggs might not lose enough moisture.

 

[hdowden]

i do remember your other post and it did look like the air cells werent big enough but if you post pics we can help you some more with the air cell

 

[ChickenPeep]
