We have 6 silkie eggs in hatcher..day 21 tomorrow ..no movement at
All but most are full eggs..can see chicks..no movement though ..is this not a good sign??

Not at all uncommon not to see movement late in the incubation period. The egg should be almost completely black except for the air cell. No movement at this stage is no indication of hatchability. Good Luck!

What kind of tortoises you have?

 

[nurse_turtle]

One male and one female Russian and my sweet Wille, a female African spur-thighed (some call Sulcata). Willie even poops on a puppy pad! Who knew?

Grats, it's like with a human baby, in the last few days they're getting into position ans resting to break thru, and frankly, no room left to move in.
