I've had at least 1-2 eggs pip at the wrong end the last two hatches I've done.

 

 

My eggs are day 17 eggs, and they're behaving nicely. I haven't checked on them, but they aren't doing anything weird from outward appearances.

How can I sleep tonight??? There's a pip FHS!!! This is the best/worst part of hatching. The waiting, pacing, worrying. I know that they will do all the work, and I will just sit idly by, but the excitement is enough to keep me awake clap.gif

 

And it truly doesn't help that DH walks by the bator saying things like " oh look, another pip.  ......Just kidding..."  but by then I have jumped out of my seat and am racing for the incubator... stinker.

Well me and my dad keep hearing chirps this evening. He can stand next to it and hear it but anytime I go in there to listen nothing. I only hear it when I'm sitting on the couch. I think they don't like me. LOL. Ugh come on babies!!! I set early Saturday morning because I am impatient and I went on lockdown Tuesday night...

There needs to be enough room for the chicks to be able to push the egg open come out - it does look a little tight

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
