i dont think my eggs are going to hatch??!! please help any thoughts?

[chickenboy1993]

it used to be 100 to 101 and i have a still air but for some reason it has dropped off and i have done alot of the advice that people gave me its setting in a room with a steady tempeture and its not near windows

i have a automatic turner that i would stop on day 18 and put the eggs on the rack and this time i filled up all the rings in my incubator because my friend that lives around here has hatched before and he always filled his all the way up and i have a little giant i try to keep my tempeture around 100 but it will sometimes drop down anything else you want to know? ill be leaving so ill get back on tonight and check and answer anything else thanks for the help

As the chick grows in the egg it fills the egg making black cause you can't see through the chick. Any movement would be the parts of the chick moving in the egg. So at this point movement is good! So far so good. Now be sure your humidity is up, leave the bator closed and wait (I know it's hard but you're almost there)

can you adjust hte temp up just a little to get back up to 100?

ill try can i try candling them once?

 

[AK Michelle]

When was the last time you candled? What day are you on now?

95? Yikes! I think we have your problem!

im on day 19 and i know my temps low but it dropped down there and i didnt want to over do it so i left it alone

 

[AK Michelle]

Can you turn it up a little? Getting it back to 99 will help the little fuzzies.

 

[chickenboy1993]

what about candling is it safe for me to do that just to see whats going on?

I'm afraid to suggest opening the bator... Can you hear anything? I could hear mine shirping before they pipped the shell.
