i go into lockdown tonight for my first hatch. little anxious. i have about 7 eggs that made it to lockdown and will have them on little styrafoam trays to keep down on the mess. would this be ok?

still no pip and its almost a full day past day 21. how long do i wait to see if they hatch before checking them?

I would let them go another day and then do a float test.

What do you mean by "hatcher"? Is that something other than the incubator

that's a tough call. It does take some a long time from pip to actual hatch. Can you tell if its still moving/breathing/peeping?
