HI,
My eggs are now in the incubator for 22 days and I have not had one hatch yet. My daughters have sworn that they have heard them chirping and when I opened the incubator lid few moments ago to add water and a sponge I could hear tapping sounds.
THe humidity has been consistently at about 50 percent. I just read on the forum that it should be much higher during the lockdown. I didn't know this so I am now trying to rapidly increase humidity by adding more water and adding a wet sponge. Any other ideas? Thank you for any help you can give me!

i need to go to bed so i will tell yo now. if they have piped inside and the humidity was too low then i make a very small pip hole in the air sac. a pin size hole just so they can get the air they need. and with the humidity is up now they should go ahead and hatch. disinfect a sharp screw and only make the smalllest of a hole then get the egg back in there. 22 eggs are a lot to do though. try to work quickly but make sure you only just barely pip it. good luck
