Hang on.......I re-read, and got to thinkin'......... You say "started pecking last night" - Like 1 little bitty peck spot, or what looks like they're cutting the big end of the egg off in a circular fashion, and still haven't come out yet?????

What is your humidity at? if it gets too low they can't break through the membrane.

 

[jm93030]

I have humidity 65 to 70 %

Don't worry to much. Sounds like settings are ok. just don't open the incubator too much and they will all be out in no time!

The humidity sounds right. I think you just need to give them a little more time and they will start popping out. I know that I have had clutches of eggs that have piped on the 21st day and haven’t hatched until the 23rd and sometimes the 24th day or even later. Sometimes the eggs will hatch all within a couple hours and other times it can be a slow hatch where the majority hatches over an entire day or two. I would say just keep the humidity where its and the temperature stable and given them time.

I had some G.G bobs start pipping monday, one hatched tues morning. Next one didnt hatch till tues night. Several more hatched yesterday. Two more hatched so far this morning. All were set at 6 am on the 8th. Bottom line, they'll hatch when there darn good and ready. Well, me stomp'in around like a expecting pappy aint made a difference yet...
