I use incuview incubator to hatch chicken eggs, after 21 days, there are still some not come out but has sign of coming out soon, I heard people has chick come out after 24 hours later after 21 full days, I try to set incubator to hatching mode only, but not sure how to, the temperature in the incubator is now 76F,I tried reset it to have it run but no luck, any suggestions? Thanks
Hey, leishi! ! Your temperature is way too low, it should be at 98.5 degrees F. after day 18. Also, what is your humidity? It should be 45-50% on days 1-18, and 65-70% on days 19-23. Keep in mind that hatches tend to fail due to: Days 1-18: too much humidity. Days 19-23: too little humidity. Also, chicks can take until day 23 sometimes to hatch. Good luck!
G’Day from down under leishi Welcome! Sorry, I have no experience with incubators, just hatches under a broody hen but I did just want to wish you all the best. I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. You may wish to post on this forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs where I'm sure those with the same incubator may be able to give you detailed insights as to what you can do. Best wishes CT
