Day 19 no pip

[GwenT]

Hey,

I was just wondering if my eggs are going to hatch, currently day 19 no pip! I did a mistake on day 18 with putting heater in the room where the incubator is located and the temperature was 4.5 and humidity 40. But few hours later I ended fixing everything. I don’t know if the chicks are alive or dead. Did candeling but not sure if they are alive.

Chicken eggs begin to pip on the 20th day.
What eggs are you incubating ?

Jersey giants, brahmas, some small eggs I don’t know what they are. I had a bad experience few weeks ago only 1 egg hatched and now I’m just scared.

So it’s day 19, have you got them set for lockdown ?

Yes! I had them set for lockdown on day 18! But I’m just scared I killed them with the heat I put near them.

Hopefully they hatch fine, there’s not much you can really do now, just make sure your humidity is at 65-70% and your temp stays at 99.5-100°F If your using a forced air incubator or 101°-102° if your using a still air incubator.
only 2 days left. Good luck!
Keep us updated on how your hatch goes.

Humidity is in between 60 to 65, not sure why it won’t go up since the trays are full. And the temp is 100F. I’m hoping everything will be ok!

If you did kill them, there is nothing you can do about that. Not to worry. It is still quite early in the process. Just wait and hope.
