Today is day 22. Humidity is at 76. A little high but its a tiny Brinsea mini eco

I really would not intervene yet.....Sometimes they go over 21 days....... try to be patient...........I know you want to help but it is best if you don't open it!

We had one pip yesterday late morning that made a small hole then I thought died, but this morning it had expanded the hole quite a bit. Another one that pipped early afternoon with not much progression got jostled by the tube I was usign to add water through a vent hole this morning. It complained LOUDLY so it's definitely still alive in there.

Humidity and temp are perfect.

Give them time.

Do what I am doing. Sit on your hands. Had one pip at 7 this morning and it is slowly getting out. Good luck. We can do this together.

Id like to give a heartfelt thanks to all my Hatchers Anonymous sponsors. Without your compassion and support, I might have opened the bator and intervened. I'm sitting on my hands!
