*CHICKS are HERE!!!* Egg Candling Pics: Progression Though Incubation

[silkiechicken]

watch an fallow thro every video of chick development...very freaking awesome..never have i ever seen anything like this way of hatching chicks..

Most methods of windowing eggs.... well you don't really "hatch them" or raise them as pets. They are research animals.

Day 6 of these eggs. Any thoughts on if their developing or not ??

I can't really tell from that picture. But you'll know in a few more days if anything is in there. There should be a black spot for the eye and veins.

My, first ever home batored egg has just cracked its shell (just a small ammount) and can hear it cheeping, how long should it be before it hatches? 21 days exactly since I took temp up to 102f

6-24 hous and it should be out!

There is a hole and I can see the chick moving,

Good sized pip! Leave the incubator closed and don't let the humidity drop. Chick needs to stay moist to fully adsorb the blood in it's egg veins, it's yolk sac, and then still be able to maneuverer and get out of the shell. Don't be worried if it's the last to hatch. I've often had first pips be last out.

And out it comes. 18 hours from puip to hatch. come on brothers and sisters.
