Hi. I have a still aired incubator. I am at day 20 and the temperature has thus far been between 99.

I have to admit, the buff orpingtons are very nice chickens!

Yeah I hope they all hatch though, no but we have land where we keep our horses and chickens so there's plenty of sheds, I'm planning on selling most of them anyway, yeah they're so docile, I only have 3 buffs in, if they all hatch my friend wants two for her kids. The blue splash orpintons I have in there are really nice too, how many eggs you got in?

 

[Cheecky B]

I got 10 in the bator. how long are u on day 20 now? Is there no pip yet? I'm so anxious I feel like taking out the eggs to candle it but I'm aware that I shouldn't and I wont

Only in to day 20 by like 4 hours? I don't know what you mean? No pips yet only seen the odd wobbling about, haha i always candle mine just before they hatch, some stories people say are all rubbish, it doesn't affect them, as long as if they've not pipped then you can carefully handle them, I always have and it's never affected my hatch. I've candled them earlier because they've not been moving that much, but when I candled them they was moving inside, but not to to point where the egg was moving so they might not pip until tomorrow, what about you?

 

[Cheecky B]

I've just candled and I see no movement inside. I turned the egg and I see no movement. The entire space of the egg is filled, there is about a cm of space available plus the space of the air sac. I see veins

 

[CocoPopz]

Some of mine I didn't, but some of them
Are to dark to see movement, did you try tapping them?

 

[Cheecky B]

No. Should I do it now? Would it be ok if I take the eggs out again?

 

[CocoPopz]

Can do, as long as if they're clean it won't hurt, and make sure humidity is still okay

 

[Cheecky B]

Omg thank you there is a movement. Are u sure that the opening of the bator won't affect them?

 

[CocoPopz]

It's okay, and honestly it doesn't, mine have always been fine, just try not to open it once one has pipped, and make sure your humidity goes back up o the right % x
