When to throw in the towel...

[Shortblondemommy]

Just leave eggs alone in incubator give them few more days.Messing with them will not help them hatch faster.

You are right I’ll leave them alone! I’ll keep everyone updated!

Anymore hatch??

 

[gimmie birdies]

I had an egg that I was not sure about, the term "when in doubt throw it out" passed through my mind, but I put it back in the incubator and candled the next day and had to toss it out.

Anymore hatch??

No I’m gonna give it to day 25.

No I’m gonna give it to day 25.

It won't hurt anything to wait, keep your fingers crossed!!

If there's no smell, let them keep going til the end of day 26! You never know. There are multiple longest hatch reports at 26 days. <3 Praying for your chickies and hoping they're just late!

Yes on day 26 if you are brave enough carefully crack big end of egg off.Sometimes the chick doesn't have energy to break out but it can still be alive.

Can you hear any noises from them? How many eggs do you have left?

 

[Hyroler]

I have a olive egger that layer eggs with very thick shells.I can't even see inside when candling them.Chicks always have hard time breaking thru it's shell.I have to assist most of time.

You can tap on eggs then put next to your ear you might hear them peep
