Try not to open the incubator. On mine, if humidity drops, I use a syringe attached to a skinny hose & put it through the built in air holes in order to add more water.

Since you set your eggs later in the evening, I wouldn't count April 10 & just start day 1 on April 11. Give them some time. I've read of people's eggs not hatching until days 25-27. I'd probably do the float test on them at day 25, though.

21 days is an average. Some hatch earlier, some hatch later. Much can depend on temperatures in the incubator.

On the incubator temperature it says 38.0
Im just gonna leave it now and see what happens fingers crossed
Many thanks for the help
