today is the 21st day but there's no sign of hatching!!
there must be something wrong!! april 8th-april 28th!! still nothing.
should i not panic becuz this might be normal?
 
Don't panic, they can take as long as 25 days! If your temps were running a little low you may not have pips yet. I would say give them until Sunday, and if still nothing candle them.
 
actually 8th is the actual "1st" day.
what if none hatch, as this is for science project.
 
Thank you thank you!!!
i'll wait until sunday, but if i candle it on sunday, how can i tell if it's dead or not?
 
I would look for movement, especially in the air cell, they should have at least pipped the air cell by then. Also double check that you did infact set them on the 8th

heyy 3 came out and one died while coming out
there r about 13 more eggs that should come out
i candled them at first but there weren't any movements...some had some blood around it...does this mean they died?
i got a 60% hatching rate for hand turning, it cant be worst than these auto turning eggs right?
 
The blood may be from the chick pipping through a vein, I had a duck to that last week, but ended up ok, just took a little longer to hatch. Good luck, I'm glad to read you already have a couple of babies.
