Hi thank you for asking! One chick hatched on day 24& (which was yesterday) and the other two eggs haven’t pipped at all.

Can you candle and post a picture of the other eggs?

Yes I will do so once I get home

Here at the two eggs that haven’t pipped yet. It’s day 26 today. Can someone please tell me if they’re still alive. Thanks

I can't tell you if they are alive or not. As long as they don't stink, give them some more time. The one on the right should internally pip very soon. The one on the left isn't quite there yet. I'm guessing your temp wasn't what you thought it was.

Thank you! They don’t stink... well at least not yet. And yeah I was doing some research before I put them in the incubator and it said that because they’re bantam eggs they needed a lower temperature. I did as the article said and maybe that’s why they’ve taken so long to hatch. I then realized my mistake and changed the temperature to 38c (100.4f according to google)

I took out the chick that hatched and put him in a little brooder box. I feel so bad for him cause he’s all alone, I’m even considering buying him another chick to keep him company just in case the other chicks don’t hatch

thank you so much for your advice and help. I will keep you updated

Are they moving if not probably didn't make it

I actually haven’t noticed any movement:/
In case I just haven’t had the luck to see them move, how much longer can I leave them there in the incubator?
And how is it possible that only one chick made it?
