why arnt my eggs hatching?

[jkp11]

My eggs have been shaking like crazy for the past day and a half now and its the 22nd day but none have been pipping yet. Is this normal? like i said its the first time i have EVER hatched eggs in my room.

Did you count your days correctly??

I am on day 25 and I just got a new pip today. I hatched one egg on day 23. I have one that is close to being completely out of the shell today and then one more that is pipped. I also have another egg that has been rocking. I know I counted my days correctly so mine are just late hatchers. Might not be good for these other two chicks--it remains to be seen!

yes i had a calendar that had the date and time i started incubation and when they should hatch. Im just concerned with the fact that they have been rocking/shaking for over a day and a half now but none will pip.

Slow hatch like that is usually heat to low,or not stable.
If its still air incubator u want a temp of 100 -101 degrees stable at the center of the egg.
Try not to put your thermometer on the bottom of the incubator raise it on a cap or somthing so its the same level as the middle of the egg.

ok that makes me feel a little better. Its just my first hatch and when they didn't hatch when they should i got concerned and the fact that they have been rocking for over a day and a half without pipping makes me very nervous. . . but thanks for your reply i appreciate it )

ok now they're peeping in the eggs. i feel like I'm worrying to much but I don't know if any of this is normal! haha

I think the peeping is normal too but I think I fall into the temp not hi enough category. I have not had great success with things that are not going on schedule. I hope you wake to some chicks or close to having chicks so you can watch them hatch the rest of the way!
