So cute! Love how you captured photos of it at various stages.
I had FIVE chicks hatch today! So now I have two in the brooder, and five in the incubator peeping up a storm. 7 out of 21 eggs. I got at least one of every type I had in the incubator to hatch, and happily the eggs...
I have 2 true Ameraucana chicks, and another easter egger and 1 of the marans have pipped!
Yes, I've been getting up during the night and checking on my eggs
I'm thinking this is over. 5 rockers, 3 made it to pipping, and 2 chicks (a BLRW bantam, and an easter egger, who is blind in 1 eye). Today marks the end of day 24 for the bantams, and day 23 for the LF. No more movement. At least I got a pair so they're not alone!
As I reported earlier, I awoke to 2 eggs pipping. One immediately came out and is now fluffing in the incubator. But the other hasnt progressed beyond what I saw at 8am, the membrane is greenish brown, and yolk is now starting to ever so slowly ooze out of a tear in the membrane. The egg was...
I woke up to 2 eggs in the early stages of hatching!!!! Another bantam (today is day 24 for them!), and an easter Egger (day 23). The easter egger is already out and peeping its head off, but the bantam egg hasnt progressed or had any movement.
I have TWO chicks now! I was planning on...
OMGOMGOMG!!!!! I have a chick!!!!! It must have hatched in under 12 minutes start to finish. I checked on the eggs, nothing, no pips or sounds or movement. Went to get some laundry together and checked in on the eggs on my way down, and one of tje bantams was zipped all the way around, and...
Hmm . . . I'm beginning to wonder if I should intervene or not. It's now about 24hrs since I first heard peeps, and now no more peeps. This morning if I talked near the incubator, some eggs would wiggle a little and I'd get a few peeps. Now nothing. It's day 23 for the bantams and day 22 for...

Thank you! It's nearly 8am here now, and while I still hear peeps, there's no sign that any if them have started to hatch.
Anyone know how soon they hatch after they start "talking"?
Oh oh! I hear a few little peeps every so often, beginning around 3 this afternoon! It's midnight now, and tomorrow will be day 23 for the bantams and day 22 for the LF. I should have something by tomorrow night, right?
UPDATE: day 22 for the bantam eggs and day 21 for the LF. No Action. Nothing. It's driving me crazy seeing all the other hatch updates and I dont have anything upbeat to share.

I'm sorry! What time of day did you start them? I started mine at 11:15 at night, so I had to count the next day as day one. Mine are on day 20 (won't be a full day until 11:15 tonight) and I am hoping for pips late tonight, but mine never seem to pip until day 21! I only have two...
Today is day 21 for my bantams and day 20 for the LF - and still nothing! No movement, no chirping, no tapping noises. I'm starting to be disappointed, but I'm going to wait until Friday to truly get upset
