[elloyd]

ok so one of my six eggs has piped the little crack has now turned into a little hole i can see the chick moveing around in the egg do i need to help it orf just wait and see what happens how long does this usualy take

I can take several hours. I know it's really stressful!

If you open the bator you run the risk of it drying out from low humidity. Spend some time researching the hatching info on this website and take lots of deep breaths!

Mine stayed like that for 24 hours, then just as I was thinking of helping it, it started to zip.

ok so i guss i put a post up earlyer that i was on day 21 but i am not shure how this works i set the eggs at about 10 at night so is it not day 21 untill the time u set them because i have no action from the outher 5 eggs in the bator and could the fact that i am using a lg still air and the temps have been about 99 to 100 the whole hatch and am trying dry incubation delay the hatch at all i know i have alot of questions but this is only the second time doing thios and the first atemt last year was not a good one i only had 2 eggs out of 12 hatch
