First time peachick hatcher here. These are my own eggs from my trio - I had 100% fertility on them.

I'm on day 30... I must have done SOMETHING right as I have one successfully hatched - so far it looks to be white one too!

Not sure about the other 4 - I know there was good development and movement on day 25, but no pips or noise or anything.

Temps are steady, humidity 70-75%

How long to give them before I give up hope??
 
Give them a couple more days. Peachicks are notorious for getting to hatch day then just dying. Give a listen to the egg to see if there's any tapping. Then candle to see if you see movement or if it looks like the chick has moved into the airsac....
 
Thanks....I'm going to candle them tomorrow and see what i can see...trying hard NOT to open the bator...

sitting on hands...
