Need advice please.

Hi. Day 21 with bantam eggs here. Nothing is happening. No rocking, no pip, nothing. So many things have gone wrong I doubt anything will hatch. At what point would any of you do something more? If you would, what would it be?

First ever try at this and I am feeling so down about it,

I can't say. What was the problems you had during incubation? Have you candled to check their development etc?

On day 17 my daughter turned the eggs, but didn`t tell me she had spilt water on them. When I checked a few hours later the temp was down to 30 C, and the humidity was sky high. I put them into lockdown on Saturday, I candled but could see no movement,( the last day I did was day 14)and I am pretty sure a couple had stopped developing. There was no smell, so I just left the nine eggs in.

Any advice is more than welcome.

I had a broody hen misplace an egg once, also round day 17/18 and it rolled out of the coop. It was pouring with rain that day and the egg was wet and ice cold when I found it. I've no idea how long it was out there in the rain. I put it back under the hen and it hatched! On time too. So don't give up hope just yet. Chicks are tough.

Thanks for the hopeful message sumi.
