First time hatcher. I purchased 2 hatching eggs online and had them sent to me. They arrived on 9/17. I placed them in the incubator and waited. The eggs were shipping on 9/15 which means they were layed on or before the 15th. I candled them on "what my estimation was given by the ship date of 9/15" on day 18. One egg was scrambled and the other egg looks great (air sack increasing in size daily and currently about 1/4 size of egg). The good egg has been moving quite a lot since "day 18" and is still moving after 4 days and still no peep sound or pip. Humidity was increased as well. My question is: Even if I started the 21 day countdown when the eggs arrived, I am now on day 22, is this a cause for alarm or should I just be happy that the egg is still moving and will it eventually hatch? On mail order eggs, (knowing that they aren't at incubation temp) does that slow the incubation process until they are in the incubator?
