Hi friend, do you know how long I can leave the newly hatch chicks in the bator? they’re fluffing up well and there’s about 4 eggs without a pip, 2 that pipped the wrong side 😬

yay thank you!!!! here’s some pictures of these beauties 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

I can’t thank you enough y’all are so helpful. I’m blessed to be part of this community. Glad I listened to your advice. there’s 3 hatchlings now so far 🐥🐥🐥

One hatched at 4am (12hrs later) and one other at 6am 🤗. Oh the joy they bring 🐥🐥🐥❤️❤️❤️ They are a mixed of CQ x cochin and JG x australorp and I love them 😍

thank you for following 🤪. Still waiting but I can’t binge watching cuz I have work tomorrow so I’ll catch up tomorrow morning 🐥

hi many thanks for taking the time sharing great advice. I’m doing my best to be patient. I’m wode awake 12am watching them hatch 🤪

thank you for sharing. I’ll be more patient 😅. I see one other pipped the wrong side 😬. 8 pipped with 2 on the wrong side.

It is indeed. It’s been a bt 8 hours since they pipped but no one has gotten out yet. that’s normal still right?

It looks like it breathes okay, it actually the first one to break apart a piece of its shell. No one has come out yet but the chirps are getting louder

1 pipped the wrong way.. when do you think I should assist if needed? It pip at 3pm EST the wrong way. far from airsac 😖

No need to be sorry I’m just not very knowledgeable yet and appreciate your patience and kind sharing of expertise 😍. I’m so thankful for you guys at BYC!!!! Oh my gosh I am gonna be momma again!! I have mixed emotions 🐥.

many thanks and I’ll be sure to keep y’all posted :)

Many thanks @BantyChooks that makes sense, if there’s already cracked that I just can’t see with naked eyes and I water test, i’ll just be devasted. I will NOT water test and will candle by EOD tonight if still no pipping. I appreciate your kind advice/response. 🙏🏼

Thank you so much @Kiki this is not the first time you have helped me with my chickie concerns 🙏🏼. Appreciate you. I will candle tonight if still no pipping, and NO to water testing.

Hi! Thought I’d tag along in this older thread than creating new one. I have similar situation on Day 21 today and no pipping but the eggs were moving last night. It’s by far the longest 3 days of my life since lockdown 😅. Question: Is it okay to water test them at the end of day today if still...
