So far nothing but the occasional peep coming from the eggs... no movement... not very frequent peeping coming from the eggs... I'm worried sick !
You're only day 18 though, aren't you?

Yep. Looks like the chick is ready to hatch before the others though. It can only peep after is pips through the air cell, but that's all he does. Peep. No movement or pips. So I cranked the humidity up and am leaving the lid closed. I'm out of the house anyway, so I couldn't check even if I wanted to. Hopefully when I get home she'll be pipped- or at least still alive. There's only a few more hours till she wil NEED to pip or she'll run out of air. Not much I can do besides wait
Fingers crossed you will have a chick pipped (and maybe even zipped) when you get home!Yep. Looks like the chick is ready to hatch before the others though.

I have a homemade cabinet incubator with fan. I manually turn my eggs and wonder if this has something to do with it?swindledana, remind me what kind of incubator you are using? from what i've read different stages of development is often related to warmer and cooler areas of the incubator. If you aren't using forced air, you could try and rotate your eggs a bit so all of them get the warmer and cooler spots equally...
