It's day 22...I know...I know give it time. But my last hatch was a disaster because my heating element broke on day 18 so nothing out of those. This time I've had 10 eggs go into lockdown....at least 6 had movement on day 18...humidity at 40 to 50% until lockdown and now it's 55 to 60% and Temp has been between 99 and 101 all thru. I have an LG still air. It was sent straight from the company to replace the last one that failed. I know I've read that LG's are terrible...but is it too much to ask for just 1 to hatch?

I'm getting depressed and frustrated!!!

What day did you set eggs and if they are your own eggs or shipped ones?

There is still hope, do you hear any pips?

 

[buzymom13]

I set the eggs the evening of the Super Bowl (Feb 6th) and no I have not heard any pips/peeps/chirps/nada.

don't give up yet, I think there is still hope

Dont give up hope tell day 25

I would check the eggs as good as you can and if none have pipped, open the bator and candle. I don't know how hard it has been for you to maintain temp/humidity so if it has been difficult, try not to keep the bator open for long. Good luck, there is still hope!

Ok...so I candled a couple in the bathroom w/the shower going for humidity. The one that looked very active on day 18 doesn't seem to be moving. I'm new and have never gotten to the end of a successful hatch... Is it normal to look in there and see very few veins and no movement? There's a black blobish area that I can not really see much about. Another one that I looked at has like a hug air sac.... at day 22 shouldn't I like be able to SEE the chick and it's head and all? I'm getting depressed... another hatch gone wrong I'm afraid.

Normal!!!!! put it back!!!!




As if for the huge air sac, how big is it?

 

[buzymom13]

The one w/the big air sac is like "if I didn't know better I'd think the chick broke thru into it"...does that make sense?


I put them all back and I'm waiting.... not so patiently....but waiting... Thankx for the support guys!
