Need advice

[Dave-2017]

I am currently on day 20 of incubating my first batch of eggs and the eggs have been on lockdown for 2 days but yesterday my girlfriend knocked the incubator which moved the eggs. I would like to know if they could still hatch as since she knocked it we have seen the eggs moving. Advice anyone?

A little jolt should be ok. If it was VERY hard, it could cause some problems. My guess is that they should be ok but do not open it. Just sit on your hands and wait. First hatches are always so exciting and stressful but so rewarding once they hatch. They're pretty resilient Good luck!

I always open my incubator during lock down....Nothing horrid will happen....Just make sure the air cells are facing upwards so they can pip and zip out easier....Best of luck....

I give them a quick candle to make sure there air cells are in the right place and just now 1 of the eggs has been making sudden movement side to side it has stopped now but I have noticed it earlier with a few of the other eggs is that good or bad?

They rest lots as they start to pip the shell...You have hours yet to wait....Once they start to zip it is rather quick....A pip hole can stay like that for 12 hours....
