What do you have the temperature set at? if its around 82 or so it may take a long time. Try turning it up a few degrees if you are very anxious but otherwise just keep waiting. I was very nervous about my first clutch and it only took 71 days. You can turn the temperature up to about 88 degrees w/o harming the embryos.
Good Luck

Be extremely careful if you set your incubator at 88 that you have a very good thermostat. Most hovabators will fluctuate as much as 5 degrees depending on time of day and where it is located in your home. That’s the reason I recomend 83, because it leaves room on either end for thermostat irregularities. At 88 if it goes up 5 degrees you’re at 93 and extended times at this temp will cook your eggs.
