New To Hatching/No Pip Day 20

[Saaan13]

Hi I'm New To Hatching Chicks And Its Just Hit the 21st Day For Me , Ive Seen A Few Forums Saying They Don't always Hatch On Day 20/21 But Ive Not Had A Pip Yet And Ive Seen No Movement Outside The Eggs, However Ive Seen Them Move Inside The Egg The Other Day Before Lockdown, I Had My Temperature On 37.5° C And 55 Humidity And When Lockdown Started Same Temperature 37.5° C But Increased The Humidity To 69% , Have I Done Everything Right ??

You did everything right. Did anything hatch? How are they now?

1 hatched and is doing great but idk about the others because I can’t see inside the shell

Do you see any tiny cracks or holes in the shells? They are now on day 24, right? If no signs of external pip by now, then chances are very slim they'll hatch. But I've heard of chicks hatching as late as day 26. It's a tough decision, anyways. You could leave them for a couple more days, but be very cautious of handling the eggs. It's an experience you'll never forget if one explodes in your face.

How is your little one doing today? I pray for one more to hatch, to keep him company. It's a tough life for a lone chick. You could put a small mirror in the brooder with him to help.

I can’t see nothing and no tweeting , I will wait a few more days and see because I’ve seen people open them up and them still alive absorbing the yolk so I don’t wanna chance it just incase but I will leave it to 26 like you say and see , hopefully they are ok and yeah I hope that never happens I heard that the smell is awful especially when it’s on you .

My little one is doing great , very playful chirping alot , very cute aswell , I was thinking of buying day old chicks from a poultry farm so she/he is not alone , yeah I was thinking that aswell or a little toy to keep company. Thanks for the message

It's weird that no one else replied - normally folks in this forum are all over posts like yours within a few hours. Thanks for posting, and welcome to BYC!
