Up to six! The earliest hatcher is being kind of aggressive to the others... Nipping them and also digging around in old shells. He even harrassed a chick as it was breaking out of its shell... Guess that's the dominant one lol

Up to 4 and the 5th is actively starting to push himself out :). Am planning on moving the dried off ones into the brooder around noon. Do they stop hatching at night?

Two have fully and successfully hatched. Numerous others are pipped and by morning I hope to have a incubator full of peeps! I'm planing on putting most of them in my brooder at that time :)

The first egg to show signs of hatching shows new pieces of eggs broken! When I looked really close I could see movement. The egg appears to have some sort of membrane intact underneath the egg shell that is not yet pierced.

Appreciate all the ideas everyone! Nobody has gotten past the first bit of cracks, trying not to get anxious or count my chickens before the hatch

4!

3rd egg has its pip started!

2nd egg is now cracking as well! What is an average time to expect from initial cracks to peeping chick? These eggs were started on 3/5 and 3/7.

So each individual should be allowed to dry and then moved to the brooder? Should I expect all of these guys to pile out pretty quick then? 3 of the eggs went in 2 days after the rest

I suppose I could. Would I then just choose a side to lay the eggs on? They have been upside down for the whole incubation

Woke up this morning to find one of my eggs beginning to hatch!!! Should I just leave them alone? The egg turner is off, temp set at 99.5, humidity 60-70%. I have a brooder ready to go with a heat lamp, food and a waterer ready to go. How soon after hatching should I remove the bird?
