    Looks like something took a bite of the chicken... Will she live?

    Hello from Colorado (chicks getting ready to hatch!)

    Hi there! I just joined this forum today and am on the last three (or so) days of incubation. Today is day 19 and I found one pip hole, but it hasn't increased yet. Every so often, I hear a chirping sound coming from the incubator. This is my first hatch ever so I'm a bit excited. I started...
