My story is of shipped eggs in the year 2025...
Currently in the morning of day 22 and one of six is definitely rocking and peeping, has been since late in the day 20. No external pips.
Finding my self reading the threads on assisted hatching, despite swearing I would never do so...
First time using an incubator. Borotto Real 24 with Sirio humidifier and egg turner. Followed directions in the Borotto manual (Incubate at 99.7 with humidity at 45RH through day 17, 99.2 from day 18 with humidity increased - however after an episode where the pump almost flooded the incubator, I am only able to get it to up to 56 RH or so, rather than suggested 65-70.
Meanwhile, one egg already hatched on day 19. Yesterday after letting her (humor me) stand alone in the brooder with her egg siblings for 24 hours, I liberated her to be with some brooder buddies hastily obtained from TSC to keep her company. I put in a crumpled wet paper towel when I retrieved chick #1, still RH is 55.
