I posted a while back about my incubator spiking to 112 F

and was sure I would have no survivors. My eggs were due to hatch on the 10th. 1 did hatch on the 11th, how much more time should I give the other eggs before tossing them? I did pull the lonely chick out of the bator and noticed none of the eggs have pipped yet. So~ how many more days would you give them? Thanks- ( p.s-they are silkies)
 
Silkies are so tempramental and sensitive. I hatch those too. However, I have had some spikes in temps also and did have survivors. Leave the bator closed, make sure the water is full, and I would wait 3-5 days before tossing them out.
 
Sometimes silkies like to take their sweet time. I give mine 25 days to hatch. If you do not have any pips, an only if you don't have any pips, you might try to candle them or a few of them if you have a bunch in there to see if they developed all the way and survived. If you candled them before lockdown and they lookd developed and alive I would leave them be for a while. I have noticed with silkies, either they are a day early or really late!

ARGHHHHH, I hate this laptop and it's keyboard. I hit a letter and it doesn't type!!!
