This morning is Day 22. One out of 12 hatched this morning at 7:30. I don't see any signs yet of any others starting to pip. How long should I wait for the others before giving up on them?
 
give it another couple of says. I heard of people waiting a week. I hope you get more pips and hatches

I would wait at least 3 more days. If you had low temps you could be having a late hatch. If you want you can candle the eggs and if there is movement and what the air cell looks like. See if you can tell if the chicks have pipped any of the air cells.

Let us know what you see.
 
Thank you so much! That is longer than I had thought. I will try to candle them tonight and will let you know. This is my first attempt at hatching thanks to this forum and everyone's kind help and vast knowledge! I couldn't have done this without it!!! Thanks again!!!
