Omgosh I’m freaking out

These are silkie eggs and it’s day 19!!!! I’m freaking out and also freaking out wondering if the egg is cracking right

I'm sorry
Don't freak out just yet.
I have no idea if this is good or bad.
Hopefully a real hatcher will come along soon and offer advice.

How are things going now?
Any progress?

That is not a normal crack. Does the egg smell bad? When did you last candle it? What did you see when you candled it? What is the temp in your bator? Does your bator have a fan? Are you using a thermometer that YOU calibrated? Are you using a hygrometer that YOU calibrated? What have you kept your humidity at? Any cheeping, wiggling?

Are you opening the bator a lot?

I candle it yesterday before lockdown everyone was good moving very little bc they have no room I was outside with my other chickens for two hours came back to that

No, it’s a home made incubator and for some reason won’t keep the humidity in. I have three holes on the top and three holes on the bottom if I close the ones on the top the humidity shots back up but I’m worried about oxygen
