No Hatchers Yet At Day 23! what do I do?

[ladyomaha]

I help with humidity so you dont have to open it often, is use a Sponge, get it wet, Damp....and put in the incubator. Keeps from opening it all the time. I run my humidity about 25-35% then lock down I raise to about 50-60%. Is it a Still air bator?

yes, I do have a still air incubator, and thats a neat idea(the sponge to keep humitity without having to open very often

)

Be patient...no matter how hard it is!
I'm on day 23 and my first pip just appeared at 12 pm. SO HARD TO EVEN WANDER FROM THE BATOR!
I'll be praying for your hatch

Im thinking right there is your issue-opening your bator 5x a day-all your temps and humidty are screwy. what's the temp been?

there is no way you should need to mist those eggs 3 times a day with water in the bottom. If you do need to then you need to get that thing balanced out before starting another hatch. Your temps and humidity are all over the place and that is the problem.

So I had one hatch yesterday, and one pip. Today is actual hatch day but I figured the one that pipped would have at least zipped by now, getting worried, haven't had any bator problems so how long should they hatch after pipping? Why is one so far ahead of the others? No other pipping on other eggs...????

how can you tell if you are getting enough humidity in your incubator?
