I didnt throw them out but I lost pretty much all hope. I looked and there isn't an inch of movement in that egg.

Everything you read and everything people say "not to touch the eggs during hatching" 20 million people can't be wrong

it makes me sad to read these posts and know that these eggs are being touch and getting damaged to the point of affecting the hatch and killing them.

These posts would be more enjoyable, if some compassion for these eggs were shown.

I know I wouldn't.. if i would have seen a sign of life now that its the 29th day.

its day 30 for me and i was told it was ok to touch them as long as the humidity was left at 60 i have left them alone most of the incubation.

I am new at all of this, so I am only going off what every article that I read, and every post i read.

Sorry it seems the eggs have died

I know I candled mine at Day 5, 10, and last night Day 18...and I could see no movement in any of my eggs. Yet one has pipped.

hopefully not all is lost with your eggs.

Awww don't worry about it. I only saw movement in like 2 eggs before lockdown! Guess what? i have 12 babies with 3 more pipped! Another one started but pipped the wrong end when I wasn't home and died

But the point is, that's 16 babies at least from 26 eggs and I didn't see movement. Just be patient

Mine took a while after internal pip to externally pip too. Just watch out for pipping the wrong end!

I've been touching my eggs because it's a staggered hatch and I needed to get babies out and put 9 more in the hatcher. They're fine! I think that chicks are much tougher than we give them credit for. They are meant to hatch outside, even if mom isn't on them for crying out loud! No special humidity and *UNDER* a full grown chicken! It's alll cool

Ill leave them in till tomorrow night... I doubt something is going to happen.

I am just worried cuz they have been at a lower temp and high humidity for so long
