I Think They Died in the egg! Please Help!!

[SilverStar]

So it's day 25 for my eggs and nothing has happend yet. No pips, nothing. Day 21 i heard peeps but have not heard any since. I am sooo sad!!

I think the baby chicks died in thier eggs beacuse they could not get out. Maybe the shells were to hard. They are still in the incubator.

Anyone have any ideas???? The temp was always set a little on the low side. Do you think there may still be a chance?? Is it bad when you hear peeps day 21 and not since??

I would think 4 days without any signs of life might be a bad sign, sorry.

I would candle them and see it you see any movement in the aircells. I also hold them up to my ear and tap on them to see if Ic an hear anything.

Good luck.

I agree, now would be the time to candle.

Sounds like they made it almost to hatch, expiring after day 18, I suspect. I'm so sorry!

I have 2 Serama eggs due july 4th and i am saving some hope for them.

What's your humidity running? THey can't hatch well without proper ventilation and humidity.
