thank you, that is what I thought it was.That is a good idea. I have until Saturday to try to find some of it around here. Not very likely though.

Thanks and I wish you the best of luck on your hatches.

Pip's 2 and 3 now!! All three in brown eggs!

Lots of chirping but can't see anyone's beaks or anything. I hope that the humidity being low until yesterday (lockdown) isn't going to cause issues with shrink wrapping.

Why are they early?!
 
ALSO.. one of them looks like it pipped at the wrong end of the egg

I guess there isn't anything I can do for that one.

Jessica,

I don't know to much about hatching since this is my first time, but I did read on a post on BYC that someone had a chick pip at the wrong end and it came out ok. I would just keep a closer eye on it to make sure though.

Thanks I will look for the cheesecloth tomorow.

Hi Jessica

I don't have much experience with hatching since this is my first time using an icubator, but I read on a post on BYC that had a chick pip the wrong end and the chick hatched out fine. Just keep a close eye on it to make sure it is ok.

thanks for the cheesecloth local, I will try to find it tomorrow.

Congratulations on your pips!

Sorry computer froze up and posted twice. Sorry bout that!

OK... SO sorry for the delayed update but it has been a CRAZY day!

I have 12 chicks now! Three last night by 11 pm then 7 this morning and 9 by noon!

There are 12 out and at least 6-7 more zipping right now! They are kicking eggs around everywhere so it's hard to tell if the others are pipped or not. Some not so good pics since I have an old bator without the fancy top. Just two little fogged up plastic windows!
