Oh my... I can not even explain how amazing this is! Praying the other six eggs hatch as well. So far, no pips that I can see or movement. Today is day 19.

Day 19. You just had an early hatcher. Happens. Always fun when it does. You still have a couple of days yet.
Day 19 is early, but if you're already seeing more pips, then there's a good chance you'll get more chicks by this time tomorrow. (Often they pip the day before hatching & take a long rest before zipping.) Sometimes the pip is small or in a bad position, so it can be missed. You must good eyes!I have another pip starting- not through the shell yet, but I can see the crack starting! Possibly a third one as well...
I am beyond excited!

Your probably running a little on the hot side if you see a lot of early arrivals. Your incubator might say 99.5 but it could be off. Have you calibrated your temps? If most hatch before day 21 I would adjust the temp down .5 for the next hatch and see what happens. There is nothing like watching the miracle of the hatch. Congratulations!I have another pip starting- not through the shell yet, but I can see the crack starting! Possibly a third one as well...

Need help? I have 2 different batches in the incubator. A week or so apart. I'm coming up on lock doe. And don't know what to do. Some eggs need to be locked down and more humidity and some need lower humidity and to be kept turned. Any suggestions?
Please, help me with what to do. Anybody?
