I have 25 eggs due to hatch today. So far 3 have hatched and as far as I can tell 5 have pipped. This is my second time hatching eggs. I have a four year old son so its a yearly tradition for us and this is our second year. I give the chick to a local farm once they hatch. How hard is...

Today is day 21 I have some eggs that have pipped and three that have hatched. The power was out for about 3 hours last night. I wasn't home so not sure what the temperature dropped to. The three hatched while the power was out and seem to be doing fine, I am concerned about the ones that...

If I set the eggs on March 26 at 7:15 pm. Is that considered day one or is day one considered March 27. I am trying to count the days to hatch and although that seems silly I really don't know. I want to make sure I stop turning them on the right day.
