Eggs Hatching
Eggs Hatching
My chicken eggs haven't started hatching yet, and it is day 21?
This is the morning of the 21st day of incubation, and the chicks have not started pipping yet. We did everything as we were told, and when we put our ears to the eggs, we can sometimes hear them moving. Why haven't they started hatching?
I'm hoping you were told all the right things. Many things can make the hatch date beyond day 21. A faulty thermometer not holding the 99.5 degrees F or a power failure. The same for the humidity sensor not maintaining 86-88 and day 18 raised to 92-94 %. If turning was interrupted for a day or more, or was not stopped at day 18. Eggs for hatching should stored at room temp and preferably not over 3 weeks old. Fertility and genetics will always be important. These are a few variables and some, or a combination of them, can mean failure. Please e-message me if you have more

Incubator does not provide only heat to the eggs, they are many other ways which can keep eggs at 80-90 degree Celsius, but it is also the moist which is controlled in the incubator. If wetness is not there the chick may get grounded on the side of the egg and may in the end die before present hatching.
