do you hear any peeping? did you candle right before lock down. My last hatch didn't come until day 22, sometimes if your incubator is running a little on the cool side it takes them an extra day or two

Im not sure about the pipping cuz I have little chicks in the room, I did the candling before lockdown but Im new at this and I tought Im not suppossed to open the bator, what should I do?

 

[faykokoWV]

can you see the eggs? are there any cracks or little holes in them? What did you see when you candled -was it clear or dark?

wait til day 23

Do you see any pipped eggs? Little hole in the upper end. Are there any eggs rocking? Is your humidity in a good range? If they have been pipped for over a day I would seriously think about helping.

they were dark and heavy, the eggs look like they have spider web fine little lines in them, not all of them though, I dont see any cracks or holes, can I open the bator? in the bathroom with a space heater?

If they have not pipped I would wait. I would not open it unless you had to up the humidity. Be patient.

Im not sure about humidity I dont have a Hydrometer, its a still air bator and we filled the water slots before we lockdown, I dont see any holes in the ends
