Congratulations on your little peeps! I wish I had come across your post sooner. The first time I hatched chicks I calculated my hatch date wrong, not sure if that happened to you too but you actually start counting AFTER 24hours have passed, that's day 1. I initially said "day 1" was the day I set my eggs and also panicked when nothing happened on day 21. Fortunately since you set the Nurture Right with "days til hatch" it is a good gauge to remind you if you're panicking early or if the chicks are hatching late, lol.
Thanks! I do like this incubator compared to others I have seen my daughter-in-law use in the past. It's easy to set more days on it to continue if you need to. I wish they had thought out the heavy top though and made more of a lip on it. I set the bator down in the brooder to take the lid off otherwise they would be falling off pretty far once they go hopping! At least I now know where the term worried like a Mother Hen comes from!
