I miscalculated the days. For some stupid reason I marked the hatch date as the lock down date. I went in today to remove the eggs form the turner and found a chick hatched. Others had begun to pip. I hurriedly removed the eggs form the turner and added water to increase the humidity but I am concerned. They never went through lock down, I did not increase the humidity the last three days, I am really concerned. Anything I can do to try and improve their chances?
 
I've found chicks pipping when I went to lockdown on day 18 and they hatched out fine, don't worry! Just keep the humidity high for them now, they should be o.k.
 
thank you. some have hatched, several have pipped but it is taking them longer to hatch than i remember in the past. Usually I have a 90 percent hatch rate, and they tend to hatch fast, so I am fretting about this slow hatch
 
Hopefully they will all hatch fine
