    Our first pip

    4 pipped chicks died. They were face down from the newly hatched chicks rolling them around & I believe they suffocated We have 9 hatched chicks. 4 pipped in the incubator & 4 unpipped. Is it possible the 4 pipped will make it? They just don't do anything but a quiet peep every hour or...

    Our first pip

    I have 2 out. The first that pipped at around 9am yesterday I decided to assist. Did the whole idea of chip a tiny bit away and let them do the rest. All blood vessels were gone and inner membrane very hydrated. It took a couple more hours but it hatched out. I have 4 more at least with...

    Our first pip

    So, within 15 minutes a 4th pip occurred and hatched itself out. Yay Though I have another chick that has pipped on the wrong side as well as the right side of the egg. It was the first one to pip at around 9:30 am. It's now 5:30pm and there has been no peeping or wiggling but I noticed it...

    Our first pip

    I'm going off the one built in the incubator. I read the link you gave and it said it was ok to open for a second to add warm water to boost humidity. I'll try that.

    Our first pip

    We have 3 pipped now!! . But #1 hasn't pipped through the membrane yet just the shell. Also my humidity is creeping down to 62% Should I be concerned? I know never open the incubator. How do you'll keep it up when you can't open it? I have two sopping sponges and the windows have...

    Our first pip

    Just checked on her. She has a much bigger pip than at 9:30 this morning. I think my concern is that she's the only one to pip. How long do you wait until you give up on the eggs? Day 25?

    Our first pip

    First time incubating eggs. In day 21 and I only hear 1 chick which has pipped. Temp is 101.5 on top of egg in a still air incubator and humidity is averaging 63-65% since day 18. Does all this sound normal and healthy? Tried to candle but could never really tell what I was looking at. It...
