Setting eggs on 3/7. Anyone else?

[wolfiemum]

The humidity kept falling and was down to 52%, I plugged the hole where the automatic egg turner cord was coming through and it is slowly rising! Hopefully it goes up to where it should be. I will still need to know if I should remove this little one that came so darn early. I may not even have any pipping for a couple more days. Any ideas? Will it get lonely in the big old brooder all by itself.?

Also he won't get lonely because he can hear the peeping of the other chicks in there.

So my little eggs are singing up a storm now. They actually woke me up. It was loud enough that I figured some must have hatched, but they are chirping away in their eggs! It warms the heart!

I woke up to check on my chick that started last night, and wow she is loud! She came out sometime between 11:30 and 3:30... Best of luck!! I love hearing them peep!

It's been 24 hours since the first pip. Trying to be patient.

Torture for me too! No sign of anything!

Well my little guy must have been early or something because he is TINY and doesn't have much for fluff. He has some patches with no fluff at all. He's getting stronger but not sure if he will survive. He did make it through the night though. And another pipped egg this morning!

she is out and running around, very vocal! I believe she was out around 1 or 2 this morning...I heard another cheep in the incubator! 2 are due today! I put a mirror in with her and she loves to look at it

My blue Wyandotte was sitting on the nest last night. Would it be safe to put the newly hatched rooster under her for her to raise?

So far I have one healthy chick, one with curled feet who can't stand up, and one who pipped and then died in the egg with crusty stuff and his beak tip hanging out of the egg.
I have one more pip with no action. They are scheduled to start hatching right about now as it was 21 days to the hour ago that I set them.

I'm sorry for your troubles with the early birds. How many more do you have?

The one that never hatched was sticky when I did the eggtopsy. Has anyone else experienced that? She was fully formed, in hatch position and had absorbed almost all the yoke. Just sticky (like she was covered in honey).
