It's day 21 of eggs in the incubator.....

[odearyme]

And no sign of anything going on. I stopped turning Thursday night, and there were definite heartbeats and movements in a few of the eggs.

Should the eggs be moving about?
Can I open the incubator and have a closer look?

They may be moving and you may hear cheaping. How lovely for them to be due on Easter day

They are really still. I've been watching through the little window for ages. Can I open the incubator to listen?

You could do but try to keep the humidity up

Still nothing, I'm going crazy waiting!

It can take 10 hours or longer for them to hatch, but turning them is ok

Try not to touch! I had given up hope and was going to chuck my eggs away but my son begged me not to. On day 25, we woke up to a hatching egg!

Day 25!!, I'm going to have to find something to distract myself with. I had a really quick check earlier, and tapped the eggs, and tried to imitate a chicken, but haven't disturbed them since.
Maybe tonights the night...

well....

OMG one beak chipping through an egg!!! Day 24, I'm going no where today, just going to watch. So glad I didnt' give up

perhaps the temperature wasn't quite high enough if they have gone 3 days over?

I'm pleased you didn't give up.

Mine are due for candling later this week

I think it was a combination of not having a clue what I was doing, didn't put any water in the first week, so maybe they didn't "get going" till later. I also probably open the incubator too much to candle.
Next time I am leaving well alone, and am going to make sure the temp/humidity is spot on before I even start.

How did it go?

I use hens for chicks and with hens if chicks go more than 2 days over they are too weak and nothing can save them. Were yours ok?

What brand/make incubator do you have?
