Today is day 21, have 3 pipped for a while now and no other action. How long from pipping does it usually take to hatch?

How do you tell? I know this question is probably asked every day lol, but just had my first round of chicks (we've always had adult chicks). I've got 2 welsummers and 2 brown leghorns. They aren't a week old yet. Any tips on how to tell?

Quote: Okay, I'm talked into hatching ducks now too!!!! hahaha! ADORABLE!

Quote: LOL!! Have you hatched chicks? Just curious! Before- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/94826_p1100701.jpg After- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/94826_p1100713.jpg Lol, they sure do get amazingly adorable once they dry up and get fuzzy!!!!

I wasn't sure. But, the egg I was concerned about has pipped, so won't be too long

I've got several eggs left in the bator. We had these eggs shipped to us so I was pretty sure hatch rate wasn't going to be the same as if we didn't ship them. But, I have one egg that I can hear chirping, but not pipped yet. Yesterday at 3:00 was the beginning of our 21st day. So, being...

Well, either way she is just fine! I just moved her over to the brooder with the other two chicks and she's doing well! Still sleepy, but no more or less than the other two.

Thanks for the advice. Well, more for the reassurance lol. I had one Brown Leghorn hatch Wednesday night. The one Brown Leghorn that I assisted that pipped yesterday. And I also had a Welsummer hatch this morning too. So, I'm three chicks down. Other eggs don't seem to be doing anything...

I'm feeling much better about it now.

Well, lil one is up and about. Flops around a bit, then sleeps. Moves around a bit more, then sleeps. I think we are going to be okay. I was just freaked because I've never had one come out of the egg not moving much! Usually they are flopping around everywhere trying to find their legs...

I just went back to check on the lil guy/gal and still listless, but it moved about 5 inches from where it was laying before. That could be good, maybe?

Yolk totally absorbed. A very little amount of blood, but nothing that worries me. I've never done this before so I'm kinda freaking lol. I just hope I didn't mess anything up.

I had a chick pip around 20 hrs ago, but nothing past that. I could hear a faint peeping from the chick, and some movement, but no further process. I'm a toddler when left alone (lol), and I couldn't help but assist. Got the lil guy out and now it's listless. Hasn't got up and tried to move...
