Wow! I put my eggs in lock-down last night (day 18). Today I went down to check on them, and one has already pipped! Talk about early!!!!!! Looks like we'll have some fuzzballs for Easter!

I'm on day 19 too..with 4 pips!

Well no hatch for me all the eggs quit. It's probably because I don't know what I'm doing. Still kind of disappointing though. You guys better put up lots of pictures of your chickies hatching.

So sorry. Better luck next time. Now you have an idea as to what to do for the next one.

Out of 32 only 12 made it to lock down. Coming to the end of day 21 for the chicken eggs and out of 6, 2 have made it out after 32 hours. 1 has pipped and it's been 12 hours. I put him in a carton very quickly because the other 2 where playing soccer with him. Day 26 for the ducks and only 6 made it to lockdown. No hatches for them yet.

Lots of inner pips.

I HEAR THEM SINGING!!!!!! Yeah babies soon.

Cool! The eggs really do roll around. I've never seen that before. I took my lucky over to the incubator to inspire them and a couple eggs started to roll around
