I thanks for inquiring. Out of 10, 9 hatched and they are all in the brooder going on mad lol. Tip: Help youre chick out when there is no movement or pipping. I did this and my baby survived!
So my chick died :(. I candled again and there was no movement whatsoever. I assisted with pipping and it already died. Lesson to everyone, don't be to hasty for you're chick to pip, it takes its time just like nature takes its time. Only assist when you are sure it has internally pipped but...

Hi guys. A few hours ago, more or less 4 hours ago I candled my chicken egg. I saw a very small piece of the darkness in the egg fill the air cell and I suggested it to be an internal pip. Could someone correct me if I'm wrong? I'm not hearing any tapping, peeping or see any rocking. How long...
Don't candle a lot. It disturbs the development of the embryo. Always candles from day 10 until day 18, by then you're embryo is developed enough to handle light. Do not candle more then once a day, it is vital for you're duckling! Also, make sure humidity and temperature is always right then...
