Patience, Patience. LOL I had an ole timer tell me there is only 3 things you need on those final days when chicks are hatching, A chair, a rope and a friend..........The friend is there to tie you to the chair.......lol

LOL...I'm trying to be patient! I really am! It's SO HARD! I really want to check the air cells again but can't without opening the bator. Tonight at 8pm will start day 21.

Well my temp is holding good, my humidity is 53% and my eggs are in their hatching carton. Thought I would try this way since my air cell was so small. Hopefully this will give them a better chance if they have to pip into a small cell. Going to try and increase humidity at 1st sign of a pip, wish me luck. My hatch day isnt till tomorrow, but my 2 previous hatches I always got and early one or two. No signs of anything going on in there, so I will muster my patience.

My humidity is at 64% right now...has been that high since the day after lockdown. Should I have waited til I saw a pip to increase it? God, I don't know what to do...I'm so new at this...All I want is one chick to hatch, if I can get one chick, I would be so happy...

Just let it be, sit on your hands, and wait. It will happen when it happens. Don't fret about things you can't change, I don't believe you did anything wrong, the chickies just need a little more time, but they'll be here soon.

Noooo you are fine. I was having problems with my air cell being to small, so I dropped my humidity to give the air cell a chance to expand.
