This is my fist time incubating. I have the plastic windows cracked because the heat goes above and behind 100. I have kept it at 100 and all the eggs were moving before lock down. I left water and sponges inside to create more humidity. It’s day 21 and none of them have pipped. Did I kill them

If there are no pips, you should candle them. Look for internal pips and movement. Internal pip

Will I mess up the hatch if I open the incubator during lock down??

If there are no external pips, no it won't hurt anything.

No internal pips but they are moving around. So just wait another day?! Thank you so so much.

Thats good. Just give them some time then. They might be a bit behind. Are you incubating in a still air or forced air incubator? (No fan or fan?)

Still air with no fan. The windows are cracked and have been the entire time which hasn’t seem to effect them. But I did get to wet the sponges while I was in there. Thank you for all your help

In a still air the temp is supposed to be 102, so since you've run yours on the cool side I'm guessing they'll hatch a bit late.

I think the low temps are why they are behind. Just leave it at 100 and hope for the best.

Will the cracked windows cause shrink wrap?
