I'm having the same issue, only with a bator. Hatch day was Fri 12/30, and I have 2 eggs that have been cheeping since Sunday but no pip. When do you intervene???

Anyone have any advice??

Any chance your dates are off or temps on the low side, that could account for a late hatch. I just finished my first hatch on Sunday, I helped 2 chicks , but they had pipped and couldn't progress. I suppose you could open an air hole and see what happens.

I know it's an awful feeling , not knowing what to do.

I had 18/24 hatch thur and fri. I was actually getting ready to toss the last 6 eggs when I heard the cheeping so I put them back in. Dates were on time, and I am in Florida and was having bad hatch rates, so I decided to try dry incubation. It worked well for me, and they were my backyard Marans and Ameraucana mixes running together. I guess mu 2 boys are doing their jobs!!

Well, I think I'd take action then. Let us know what happens and good luck!
