Ended up with only 6 chicks out of 23 on my first hatch, the second started last night and I have 7 chicks already and 5-6 pips.

6 chicks here ...maybe 1 more

The crazyness is about to hit. 1 out and lots of pips.

2 pips now...

One egg pipped here, hopefully lots more by tonight or morning.

@mattsinger I fear my incubation temp may have been a little low as I haven't seen any progress here, hoping just a late hatch here. We will see. Possibly some eggs wobbling around so still hopeful.

@mattsinger about to go check my eggs now. How is the hatch going there?

Nothing yet. Any minute now hopefully.

What a coincidence, I had 23 go in last night.

First egg isn't fertile. Second looks to show veins, hard to tell for sure from the picture but veins are always a good sign.

Looks good to me!

Just fired up the new bator. 99 eggs set this week. RIR, RIRxLeghorn, buff orp, and mixes.

You may not even need to have the nests at ground level, most of the time my hens nested in milk crates that were a few feet off the ground. As far as laying mine laid eggs nearly every day. Hope I have helped.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I'm just being a impatient as I just got a new incubator and can't wait to fire it up.
