Pipped 7 hours ago bht no progress from there. I think my water pots are going to dry up. What do I

Filling the water pot in my Brinsea Mini Eco would take less than ten seconds. I can't see if there's a little in the bottom or not, but I know it's close based on how fast it was going away when I could see it. Do I risk opening or not?

My eggs started pipping last night and no progress has been made. It has been about 7 hours.

I don't have a read on my humidity, unfortunately. It has been raining an awful lot here so I keep thinking that's got to be helpful, at least.

if they are pipped it will shrink wrap them when you open the door. Long waits between pip and hatch are normal so in your shoes id stay the course and let it be.

What a crazy few days it has been.

I finally had a bird hatch and I really thought she was the only survivor. 24 hours later and she was still a lone bird. One was clearly dead in its shell, beak exposed. I was so sad.

Finally things started happening! Out of the 17 eggs I had shipped, 9 have now hatched. I did assist in one hatch because it was clear she was stuck like the other bird that didn't make it. She survived the night.

I was expecting a Saturday or Sunday hatch day so I'm not sure why they were late but I suspect the eggs were possibly old since my temps were on, target.

That said, I need to buy a hygrometer for next time.
