    Little Giant Incubator Hatch-Along

    2 hatched 2 almost there and the other 2 haven't even pipped yet. I knew they were later though just based on their candling I will give them a couple of days. They are so cute!

    Little Giant Incubator Hatch-Along

    How long does it normally take from pip to zip? (that sounds funny! lol) And is there a time that they have been pipped too long and then need help? I now have 3 pipped! I knew it was coming but now that it's here I am way too excited! :)

    Little Giant Incubator Hatch-Along

    I now have 2 that have pipped!! One that is getting pretty good and has some of the membrane moved and one that is just now pipped. I am so excited! I can see the eggs rocking back and forth and can hear peeping! :D I want to help them so bad but I am keeping busy so I don't just stare at them...

    expected hatch date: June 25th. Anyone have a hatch date close to the 25th?

    One of them has pipped!!! :) It's just a little one but it's there. I am not sure what the humidity is because I have no way to track it, but right before I locked them down I filled all the trays at the bottom of the incubator do you think that will be enough?

    Mine are supposed to hatch tomorrow or monday. Not sure when. I came home from a vacation to see my silkie sitting on 8 eggs. 2 days later she was taken by a fox and I went out and got an incubator and tried to save them. So I set them on the 6th or so. 6 out of the 8 are good and ready to...

    ok long story.. I had a silkie hen go broody. She hatched one single egg and we got a pretty chick. (5-27) then I am guessing about 4 days later she was sitting on some more eggs. We had left for CO for a vacation (5-29) and I have no idea when she began to sit on the other eggs. like I said I...
