Sounds like you've both done well!! Out of the ten eggs that made it to lockdown, 9 hatched (the last one was malpositioned upside down and pipped straight through the wrong end)!!, and we only lost one, who was a late quitter and died without internally pipping. For my first hatch, I'm very...

So we woke up on Day 21 to see 4 hatched, 5 pipped 😊

Day 20 - 1 hatched, a few internally pipped and no other external pips.

I thought once they've started zipping it's fairly quick? I waited it out and this one has just managed to poke her beak in and continue unzipping again.

How long would you leave it before helping if its stuck?

Dangerous, you better put something in them, quick 😂

Oh my word I'm so excited!!! Thank goodness I'm working from home 😂

Is this the start of zipping? He'd already pipped about 4 hours ago.

So I miscalculated... We're now day 20 and I have heard chirping from some eggs and have 1 external pip!

Good idea, I have been playing lots or chick sounds but completely forgot!!

This is my first time and I am SO nervous, I check the incubator every half an hour to see if any have pipped and I'm constantly shushing everyone to try listening for chirps haha. I've pretty much convinced myself none of them will hatch - I have bad anxiety!

I'm day 20, no pips but lots of movement. Panicking 😂 (first time hatcher)

Phew, thank goodness I didn't then!

Yay!!

I thought you're supposed to stand them for 24 hours air cell up to let everything settle? I saw a few people post about it since I set mine...

I am day 19 or 20 - I know you're supposed to count the first day as 0, which would make this 19, but I didn't set my eggs properly and put them straight into a warm incubator after 8 hrs under a broody hen - what do you guys think? Either way I am playing all the chicken music on YouTube now...

I think you're right, I'd take the trade off.

Are FBCM auto sexing? Congrats!

Definitely the broody... I had 6 out of 6 hatch last year under her, this time its nerve-wracking in the incubator! Although I do love being able to watch them move about in there. What day are yours on?

Hey guys! I'm late to the party but only found this page a couple days ago. I set my eggs a couple weeks ago and they have a due date of 3rd May! I'm using a Brinsea Maxi II Eco with a semi auto Turner. Started off with 14 eggs from our CL cockerel and hybrid hens, had 1 yolker, 3 quitters so...
