Why no pips on day 21?!?

first pip!!!! it’s kinda hard to see.

I use this to add water to my incubator after lockdown. I go in through a vent hole and with the accordion straws I can reach everywhere. It might take a little bending and work.

Shrink-wrapping a chick is a little more complicated than just opening the incubator during lockdown. There are other factors involved. Opening the incubator, especially after a pip, could be the factor that puts it over the top and you have an issue. Could, possibly, might, maybe. It does happen, I've done it, but in my experience it doesn't happen that often. If I have what I consider an emergency in the incubator I'll open it and take care of the emergency, realizing that there is a risk. But I have to have a real reason to open it. Why take an unnecessary risk if you don't have to?

i just added water and the humidity dropped 10%. Also i found out that another one had pipped. I really hope i just didn’t shrink wrap them. Also one just chirped really loud
