I am too scared to open the unhatched eggs....

I would wait until 2 days after the marked hatch date, then start helping the ones that pipped but are having trouble hatching.

There are some videos on YOUTUBE for how to help a chick hatch,
this one is pretty helpful

I feel the chicks may have been shrink wrapped

Have you ever hatched eggs before?

Lockdown is when you increase the humidity and keep the incubator closed 3 days before hatching up until all the chick's have hatched

Yes I have hatched before but am still new..... I can't tell whether to intervene or just leg the egg be just now....This was definitely a learning experience

Sorry, I wasn't meaning you. I was responding to all4eggz comment.

I also haven't been hatching for a long time so I'm still learning lots from this forum. You're definitely not alone.

What day is it now? 21?

Oh sorry, I never hatched with an incubator- I prefer natures way of hatching
