here's a ray of hope, I left a out tray of eggs out of my 'bator. there where 18, day 18-19. it was over 12 hours they where sitting on top of the incubator in a shed (50 degrees), candled them quickly 6 where clear 2 with red rings. 11 dark, I put the back in the 'bator. figured why not. hatch date was mon. nothing happened, tue nothing, today 5 babies, 2-3 hatching, keep trying, and have you tried your bra to keep the egg warm someone hatched an egg in her bra

I have never in my life done anything like this! I'm literally shaking.

So how long should I just sit back? Other than keeping things moist and warm? He/she is really voicing their opinion now. HAHAHA went from occassional peep to almost constant peeping. Minutes? hours? what?

At 50, I didn't think I would be a new momma again but hoping for the best....

I would give the little one at least a couple of hours IF you are able to maintain moisture and warmth. They rest a lot between zipping attempts. It takes a HUGE amount of energy for them to hatch.​

If you have a heating pad, that can be helpful to keep the heat up as well. Lay a fairly wet cloth over it.
Once its out, you can pop him in the front of your bra. Your heart beating and natural warmth with help perk it up.
