hi i have 6 mini appleyard eggs in the incubator at the moment it's day 26 and two have broken through the shell only a small hole, one has it's beak poking out, how long does it take for them to get out. I have hatched some before but i helped them, i got anxious that they would die in the shell, i would like these to do it on there own, but i am worried that they might not make it. So how long should i wait how long do they normally take to get out of the shell.
Very anxious at the moment, also the others are not doing anything but they have tried to hatch early, should have gone to day 28, will this be a problem that they are hatching a little early.
Also i have put the humidity up to 70% is that hight enough.
any advice welcome.
 
Try to relax and let nature take it's course. Some chip then do nothing for a whole day, others hatch much quicker. I wouldn't go any higher than 70% and that's higher than I would go.
