Hey Guys, so I'm at day 22 going on 23 of my incubating 25 bobwhite eggs. So a day before lockdown I took out the dud eggs I knew were absolutely gone to spare room, so now I have 20 eggs. Like I said I'm in lockdown and am eagerly waiting for my chicks, even though it's only day 22-23 I'm getting kind of worried about my eggs...Should I at least have heard some chirping by now or some indication of the chicks? Yesterday me and my dad swore we heard some type of very faint light scraping-but that only occured 1-2 times in a span of 10 seconds and it was VERY light. Anyway, my temperature has been between 99-100 degrees and humidity between 65-75%, is this correct for lockdown? And I started lockdown on day 21 which was the top recommendation from many people/sites if that's any help.
I candled my eggs on day 18 and saw some eggs with limited veins and it was dark inside, which someone told me is a sign of the fetus/chick and that they might hatch earlier than others?? I know I still have like 2-3 more days before all hope is lost but I'm just pretty stressed and need some reassurance...Any advice or words of wisdom-would LOVE to hear it! Thanks again guys for all your help, really appreciate it
