Pips on Day 23 still ok?

[gitlost80]

I have read that unhatched eggs arent viable on day 24. Mine have pipped on Day 23,today. One hatched yesterday morning and is fine now. They are all peeping and wiggling around. Do I need to be worried? I ran my bator at 99......and humidity is at 75 right now...Whats the latest day that eggs can hatch?

P.S. I am worried enough that I just bought a Genesis 1588 online to ensure I dont get this anxiety again.

The latest day they can hatch is the day they hatch. Whenever that is...... so many things can alter the incubation process and slow it down.

I always wait 25 days, and once 26 days, before giving up. I've had chicks hatch on the 25th day. If you've got a pip and signs the chick IS alive in there, give it the time it needs. If it is more than 24 hours since it pipped, you might consider intervention and helping it hatch. That choice is up to you.

Im gonna let em be. I just took the bator in the bathroom and ran a hot shower at 80% humidity, They have all been pipped all day, but when I looked in, they are all still peeping and moving.
