Give them time i am at the beginning of day 24 had 3 hatch day 22 two hatch on 23 and one working on hatching with 3 more yet to pip...I was begining to worry as well but they just werent ready yet!
ok I need advice I have a chick who has pipped kind of midways on egg but closer to the small end I don't know when it pipped I only noticed when my chicks rolled the egg I thought it had died inside but watched it fir awhile and saw movement around pip area. its been since yesterday evening...
I set 15 only nine made it to lockdown..two hatched two pipped and five nothing so far and its day 22..I made a homemade incubator everything worked well but had a couple of nights where my temps fell to 97..so hoping that didn't hurt the other 5.
The string will be fine it will come off the chick once it starts moving around more. I hatched my first chick ever last night and had the same problem..i was a bit nervous about it to, didnt know what to do but it all worked out! :)
I need some help guys! I'm a day away from lockdown, candled the eggs yesterday some don't seem to be as far along as a few others! Will they make it to hatch maybe couple days later or will they quit on me?
Hi everyone! I'm new to the site and the world of chickens, started the adventure back in April. So far I have done well. I decided to hatch a few eggs on my own in a homemade incubator because I have Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds...I had purchased a silkie hoping for a broody hen but instead...
