Okay how much days will it need to grow reply. Me asap

This is hard to say but I would guess another 2 or 3 days. I would also guess higher humidity.

Going to go check my eggs and see if I have any pips.

I made an incubator/hatcher out of a cooler. Originally I had one 40 watt bulb in the bottom and a dimmer switch but the bulb burned out once when I was around 2 weeks into incubation. I modified it and put two 15 watt incandescent bulbs in it, a fan and a wafer thermostat. one bulb did burn out once. It works great.

Don't expect to much from this experience just learn from it and what people are telling you. Cause you really should have educated yourself before trying to hatch some chicks. It's not as easy as most people think.

There is articles and post about the best way to build a incubator and the things you need to add to it. Just use the search bar to find the articles. It's listed as DIY incubator.

Okay actually I was incubating in cardboard box but I think the humidity was not maintained in it

I agree about needing to educate yourself first... You are basically flying blind right now. Humidity is very important and you absolutely have to have a way of knowing what it is. Set your expectations low for this hatch, and go into your next one more prepared. Multiple calibrated thermometers placed in different parts of the incubator, and a salt-tested hygrometer are a must. You need to know what your parameters are, so you can control the environment and know when and how to intervene if something happens.

Opening the incubator during lockdown isn't the end of the world, especially if it's to catch a problem early and save a chick. You can get the humidity right back up quickly, within minutes, so there isn't all that much damage being done. But you have to have a reliable way of measuring the humidity, and you have to act fast by adding more water when necessary. My chicks usually take several days to hatch, so I have to open the incubator to take the hatched chicks out while others are at various stages of hatching. I make sure the humidity goes right back up, and they are fine.

What also matters is where you got your eggs from - if they are shipped or local. Shipped eggs are more sensitive to subpar conditions, and more prone to dying in lockdown. I've had shipped eggs die after pipping internally because they failed to make an external pip. So I would be worried if it's been 24+ hours after the internal pip and there's no external pip yet. At a certain point, they use up the air in the air cell and HAVE to pip externally, or they die. If you are certain it has been 24+ hours since internal pip, and the chicks aren't moving, then I would suggest making a safety hole. If it's a shipped egg, I might go even farther and assist the chick out. If it hasn't pipped internally, then giving it more time - days, even - would be fine, but once it pips internally, the countdown begins until they run out of air. 24 hours should be plenty of time to absorb the yolk. Again, that is if you are certain that they've pipped internally. In my hatch from this spring, I had to assist 3 shipped eggs and they all made it out alive, but would not have been able to do it on their own. They weren't cheap so I wanted to save every last one. If this is just an experiment for you though, out of curiosity, if you just want to see what would happen by sticking some eggs in a warm cardboard box, and if you're not dead set on saving every last one, you can let them be and let nature take its course. If you want to save them at any cost though, I would recommend looking up and reading about assisted hatch. Good luck!
