They are 3 weeks old

So I a trying to figure this out too... although I know they are only 3 weeks old. I have no idea which breed they are but they don't look similar....

I have the same question ... I am also getting worried I might have a rooster, thoughts?

So he is halfway out, and I have used Vaseline to keep the membrane moist. Here's the question, what do I do if I get the whole shell off should I try to get him out of the membrane? He is chirping and wiggling, but just can't seem to actually get out. I stopped with the shell because of the blood.

Okay great, I will use the Vaseline instead. It's been about 30hours.

So I'm back, I have a little chick who was stuck after pipping seemed like she had her beak out but no energy to unzip. I put her pic here, from what I read I started to remove the part of the shell around where she pipped and then the shell by the egg pocket, then there was blood so I popped...

So first, thank you so much for the advice yesterday, of the 13 eggs, 6 have hatched, 3 have pipped, that leaves 4. We are now on day 22, I am wondering 1st- how long to leave the chicks in the incubator? 2nd- should I do something for the 4 eggs who have not done anything yet (they were all...

I have a pip!!! Thank you for the advice :)

I just added some warm water with a straw and the humidity is up to 66%, the temp is now 99.8. Here's hoping we get some hatching.

LOL okay, I will try to put some water in through a tube, I'll have to see what I can find. They were put in the incubator on the night of March 31st (9pmish - long story).

It's been between 50-55. Do you think I should open and put like a little dish of water in the corner with a cloth in it or something? Can I do that during lockdown?? I did just hear a chirp from an egg in there!!! I candled them all before lockdown (1 was empty) and 13 were wiggling. I marked...

They are chickens.... my humidity has been between 50-55 throughout the hatch. I am standing at the incubator and just heard a chirp!!!! Does this mean they might pip soon??? Ah I'm super nervous.

So this is our first ever hatch, we have 13 eggs in lock down, temp is 99.6 humidity 60% (although it goes up to 62 sometimes), today is day 21. No pips yet. Is my humidity okay? If not, what should I do? (Our incubator is a hovabator 1602)
