I'm 15.5 hours into day 21, thought I had what looked like one pip day before yesterday, but nothing has happened since. I don't know how accurate the thermometer is that came with my hovabator, but I'm sure the temp never went over 102. Is there still a chance any of my 20 eggs will hatch? I wish I would have gotten myself a better thermometer along with something to measure the humidity.
 
I've had them hatch out on day 25 when the temps have been off (low) in the bator. Patience!

You folks are awesome with giving me hope! Gosh, if even 1/4 of the 20 eggs would hatch I'd be satisfied!
 
I have a broody who is 16 hours into day 22 right now, and still none of hers have made it out. There's one almost out, one pipped, and one cheeping inside an unbroken egg, but nothing else yet!
 
Im half way on day 22 and out of 21 eggs, 10 have hatched. 2 of them today and I got 2 more pips just an hour or so ago. They may not even hatch til tmr? Not sure?
 
I've had short and long hatches. Short hatches being all within 36 hours of day 21, and a long hatch whos last bird made it out at day 25.

Just wait and don't open the box.
