First one is hatched and running around the bator making a racket!  Here he is resting on his back right after hatch:

Just had 3 pips early this morning!! One then zipped and hatched in 15 minutes!!! The other two are making no progress till now :( One of the pips is almost like a half pip or more like a crack in the shell, so not sure if he/she is still alive in there as a piece of shell hasn't actually broken off. Is this normal? Hope it didnt die trying to pip. Thanks!!! It's so exciting...my first hatch!!

Conjrats on the chicks. 

 

I've had some pip, zip and pop in less than 15 minutes.  In the same batch I had one take 24 hours.  idunno.gif

I sure hope that's what is going on over here. Today is day 21 and nothing yet, no pips, no cheeps, no movement. Ugh!

Day 21 here, 3 pipped, no zips.  There was nothing last evening, not even a sound.  This morning I saw 2 pips.  The water in the incubator dissappeared overnight, and the humidity dropped to 25, so I had to open it and add water.  I got the humidity back up to 55-60 real quick.
