How long should I wait?

[Jeff Cooper]

18 of 22 eggs hatched and all are in in brooder doing well.

Of the four remaining eggs two have shown no activity and two have pipped through and began to crack the shell more. However there has been no activity for the past18 hours. Humidity has remained between 82% and 86% and the temp is a constant 99.5.

Should I intervene in any way? Have the two babies died?

Thank you if you can help.

Hang tight for another few days. The ones that pipped can take 24 hours to actually start unzipping. Might want to reduce the humidity a bit to about 70% if you can.
