Valentine's day hatch-a-long 2017

Thanks and good luck! I still got one more left, almost all hatched today day 20.

What day did you notice any pips? My first hatch, one pipped day 18 and hatched day 19, second pipped and hatched day 19. Second attempt all DIS when I KNOW a few were alive at lockdown. Hence why I purchased this incubator. So, I am not really sure what to expect or look for as my first two attempts were so poor.

Thank you. I keep looking at my eggs every time I'm in the kitchen. Looking for eggs wobbling. So hard to be patient!

Only 3 of my original 7 eggs made it to lockdown. Bad power outages this time of year. Two finally pipped this morning. They seem a little behind. I didn't even lock them down until day 20. Fingers crossed for all our little chickies.

Seems is going to be a 100% Hatch of the 8 that went to lockdown, 7 hatched today and I just checked them out and the 8th is zipping out.

Today is day 20 (technically this afternoon). So far I am not seeing any pips nor wobbling shell movement. Ugh! I candled all eggs (20) just before lockdown (quickly) and saw veins. All of these eggs are colored, with some being pretty dark, so difficult to see into easily. I am using the Brinsea Octagon 20 EX (humidity pump).

THIS. IS. SO. STRESSFUL!
