How long past hatching date have you had a successful hatch. Please let me know. I'm really worried my babies aren't going to make it!

hi, not me personally but i have heard of going a week or more over the date . if you lost power or the temp isnt quite high enough. what day is it? do you have the humidity high enough?

They are going on day 31, 3 days after due date. We did lose power once for 3 hrs.

It's been 72 hours, so what I would do is candle them. If any are in the air cells and moving, then give it another 12 hours. If they seem like they're struggling or not moving, make a tiny "safe hole" in the top of the shell so that they can breathe. Good luck.

losing the power will do it. I agree with amykins, candle , MIst them with some warm water and wait.
