Still no piping as of 7am. How long should I expect to wait after lockdown? And when should I worry?

Pullet I hatched from some expensive eggs in 2013 I think it was... the hatch just cracked me up they all had double crest gene I swear!
and dark dark crests! I had to sell them, but they were so cute, all the locals just grabbed them right up!

What day are you on? You may not see a pip until day 20 or even 21. I am always anxious until I see the first pip.

Added: chickens will usually hatch within 24 hours of pipping. Some pip right away and some take longer.

I am on day 19, bamtum eggs, with complications during incubating, that is why I am anxious. I had one roll yesterday after I locked them down do I was hopeful, I hate waiting. Thanks for the reply, I will give them a couple days before I worry.

somebody was up early and thinks they are funny!

3 active pips yet.....

The other 2 no pippers...The big one looks like it's gonna do internal as it's popped in back now or it's upsidedown, the other one without internal is still alive for now but it's not gonna be 4 long cause it's upside down and I don't assist anymore so those two are on their own.

Sorry couldn't get entire inside on one shot

I've never hatched bantams, but most of the time my hatches have been pips on day 21 with zips taking over a day. This time I did not see an external pip just peeping at 10 PM. The chick was out by 3 am. Every hatch is different, and I completely understand impatience.
