Jan./Feb. 2014 hatch a long

[Timba]

Don't give up! ! Get them up to the right temp and let them rest for a while. Then maybe later on, candle them and look for movement. What day are you on?
I was on day 11 when disaster struck my day incubator. The table leg broke and the'bator fell, killing half of my eggs. I have 3 that are supposed to hatch today and in the next couple days. These were ones that were still alive after the bad fall they took. One even cracked and I am expecting it to hatch.

I haven't come all this way to give up!!! I'm on day 17!!!! Lockdown tomorrow!!!!

Ended up with 5 chickies on my first hatch of eight shipped Welsummer eggs! Very happy! 3 Hens and 2 Roos. One of the girls is still drying off. The mini Brinsea may be tiny, but I love it! Once a hatched chick dried off, I snatched it out real quick to make room for the others getting rolled around. Because of its small size the temps and humidity rebounded quickly. Setting some more eggs today

Disaster struck over night.....the bulb on my incubator blew out. The temps went way down to 75 and humidity to 68. Darn, and I was so close to lockdown too.

You might be fine.........................don't freak............

It is amazing how they can take more than we think...............
If it were me I would lock down on day 18 and hope for the best................
Good Luck.............

Lol I was getting nervous. Mine has since yesterday morning. A few has hatched but 2 still zipping (not too worried of them, I can see movement) 2 just pip (no sign of anything, just an cracked cell). Hope they are okay.
