Silence

I heard peeping last night but I have yet to hear anything this morning. Could this be bad or is it you early? Day 21 began around 5 pm yesterday.

Can a chick tilt an egg too far during lockdown? Just asking because one of the eggs that were peeping is now tilted 45 degrees from where it was and I am worried about the air cell being in the wrong place.

The egg should be fine.
What's your humidity at right now?

The egg should be fine.
What's your humidity at right now?

Between 70 and 75

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Is this your first time incubating?
Did you look really closely for any pipping? Sometimes they are towards the bottom of the egg or the pointy side.

 

[fishin_dad]

Yes this is my first time. I have not opened since lock down but I did candel all of them before lockdown and the feet and heads were near the fat end.

I have to hold my flashlight sideways to check for any pips, they are very small to start with.

 

[fishin_dad]

I cut out some egg cartons to help keep the eggs upright because that's how my egg turner holds them and I figure they should stay upright since they started the first 18 that way

 

[fishin_dad]

I can't even see the pointy end

I did cut the bottom of the carton cup out though to allow good air flow

 

[fishin_dad]

I have 2 pips but on is near the pointy end of the egg. It is right at the edge of the trimmed egg carton. Will this be OK or do I need to reposition?
