Most don't candle after day 18 as opening the bator lowers the Hum and they can shrink wrap !

After day 18 I don't open the bator until the hatch is finished.

See this site on candeling . It may help. Sending hatching vibes

ARE YOU STILL ON HERE...I JUST CHECKED THE BATORS...ONE OF THEM HAD SPIKED UP IN TEMP...AND COULD NOT GET IT TO GO DOWN...SO I MOVED THE EGGS INTO THE OTHER BATOR VERY QUICKLY...WHEN I WAS DOING THAT...THERE IS AN EGG THAT PIPPED UPSIDE DOWN AND ON THE SIDE OF THE EGG...IT LOOKS AS IF THERE IS A HOLE IN THE MEMBRANE...HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE IT LIKE THIS...THE MEMBRANE LOOKS VERY DRY THROUGH THE VIEW HOLE...I CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS MOISTURE OR NOT...IT DOES HAVE DRIED STUFF AROUND THE HOLE...WHAT DO I DO?

Sorry i went to bed. Hope your hatch is going well. I don't help any chicks hatch but that is my personal preference. i feel that if it doesn't hatch on it's own then is is weak stock.

It can take 12 to 24 hours to hatch after pip.
