Number 2 just popped out! There all coming now, almost every one of them has a pip! It's going to be a long night!

How long does it take them too get on their feet? My little guy is flopping all over, and hasn't been able to stand on his own. He's moving all the eggs around trying to get up, will it hurt the pips to have their egg moved? Thanks for all the help guys and gals

I have a chick and 8 pips! I'm on day 19, and their chirping and the eggs are rocking. 8 eggs are cracked and one hatched about 30 minutes ago. The first chick went fast, we were gone all day and I didn't really expect anything to happen. We walk in the house, and my daughter went to check...

Quote: ? I'm also interested to have this answered. Also, what day do they usually start chirping, and when does the egg start moving?

Today will be day 1 of lockdown! No rocking or chirping so far. I'm still really worried about the musty smell. I posted earlier about it, that for the past few days there's been a musty smell. Have no idea where it's coming from, and the incubator was cleaned with bleach and left outside...

I go on lockdown Saturday....I'm really nervous and worried I candled again tonight and I'm iffy about a few. If I'm right about them I'm down to 21 eggs. My maran eggs are so dark, I can't see anything other than the air sack. I've also got an issue with bacteria or something else. There's a...

Quote: How cool is it to see them move in the egg for the first time?? I find myself enjoying it too much and My husband has to tell me to put the egg back! Mine were dancing for me tonight as well on day 10! It was awesome. I just wanted to get up and I have have temp issues this whole time...

We just candled a few of our eggs and in one of the Welsummers I saw definite movement. The little baby was moving around, it was so cool. I was really worried because I had a temperature spike and wasn't sure how long they had been at 104/103.2 degrees. So I'm thinking if one made it...

This thread is so great! The more I read about everyone hatching, the more excited I get about my own eggs. For those of you that have had them hatch, I've seen that you mention that the eggs start to move around. Approx what day do they start doing that, or does it only happen right before...

Day 12 here... Up until yesterday everything was going pretty good, my temps were steady and humidity was spot on. I had to run some errands yesterday, and by the time I got home the outside temps were in the high 80's. Went to check the bator and my temps were reading 104.0 and 103.2 It's...

Have a question, hope someone can help me? Also an update..... I'm having trouble figuring out what day I'm on? I put them in on March 29th around 8 AM, so is today day 10 or day 9? I've been counting it as day 10 because we set them early in the morning. So.... I started with 24 BCM and 5...

Quote: I'm also doing Black Copper Marans for my first time, and have thought the same thing. Next time I'm getting white eggs, lol. Well, were on day 4 here, everything has been good so far. Temps have been perfect and humidity is holding. Haven't candled yet, but really want too. I have...

Wow, so excited to make my first post. I've been a lurker for about 5 months, but finally decided to register because I'm going to try and hatch some eggs for the first time. I have a LG still air, and I'm going to be hand turning them. We (me and my 10 year old daughter) set up the bator...
