How long should I wait?

[Sarka]

We had a power outage for about 7 hours. The eggs were on day 19 today is day 22, no peeping. Listened with stethoscope can hear a tapping sound. Can someone tell me how much longer I should keep eggs in the incubator?

Well because of the poer outage that has most probably delayed the hatching process by a day or too lets just hope that they are all still okay and growing.


i will say just hold on for a couple of more days as if your humidity was a little low that would also delay the hatching time

I hope all is well and

for your chicks

keep us posted

Hello and welcome to BYC

Have a look at the sticky thread in the Incubating section. It'll tell you what to do, if needed. Good luck!
