Hey stevearino have you been in lately? This advice from chickee was great! I hope you haven't missed it and your little one is still going strong!

Stevearino - Time will tell. I'd hope the little one is getting some sort of food in it's belly even if you haven't seen it. Have you tried offering any cool scrambled egg, or dampened crumbles? Can't hurt to try. Awesome news that you got a chick to hatch Sprinkles212!!! I can't wait for...

YAY FOR BABIES! Wonderful news! I wonder how many chicks we hatch all up out of this thread? We should keep count on living chicks at 24 hours or something?

Oh Sprinkles212 I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! I know how horrible it is to have a hatch fail... so to think you have pips and peeping on day 22 is just wonderful! I sat up until 4am this morning watching 2 of my chicks hatch! Call me crazy... but I was hooked! I could just talk about it all day! Im...

My FIRST HATCH! YAY! SoOoOOo happy! Chick looks great, is very active and is drying out nice and quick!

Time for a pic! I'm getting so much action out of egg one of the left that I can't tear myself away! Egg 4 on the far right is slowly knocking more shell off and egg 2 hasn't done much since pipping (too small to see in this pic). (The egg up the far left was an early quitter I think. I left...

YAY! How exciting! Now I'm just super stressed. Is my humidity high enough? Why haven't they pipped any further? If I watch long enough will I see movement?.... Was that a peep I just heard? EEEiiiKKKKK! Hurry up babies! It's been 7 hours since you pipped! DO SOMETHING!

I have 2 pips! I have 2 pips! I AM SO EXCITED!

At least he made it out stevearino! Let's hope the little on is tough enough! Just be happy you have had a chick hatch at all.... I'm still waiting patiently for any signs and it is driving me mad!

I'm that excited I don't think I'll sleep for days. (Don't tell anyone...... I candled just one egg. I know it's bad rah rah rah.. but I just HAD to see if I'd killed everything with the high level of condensation in my bator.... It took all of one second to realise I have INTERNAL PIPS!) Ok so...

Oh how exciting all the pictures of pips and things! I'm having a minor HEART ATTACK! When I got up this morning I saw a lot of condensation on the walls of the bator... not just the window! Now I'm worried that my hygrometer has never been working properly and I may have had my humidity TOO...

I've gone into lockdown and left one clear egg in there.... It doesn't smell or anything but I made sure I tucked it away so hopefully any chicks that hatch don't roll it around! My humidity is increasing.... I'm getting nervous. I wish we could sit the eggs on top of permanent candlers in the...

I have just gone into lockdown! Eeeeeeik! I've been so busy over the last few days that I haven't had a chance to get excited..... now I've sat down, locked down and the nerves are starting! Today at lockdown I candled and managed to see movement in 3 out of the 4 eggs. This is looking more...

Aschenfire - are you hatching Modern Game Bantams? (Is that what MGB stands for?). I have a few modern game bantams here. 3 Cockerals and 3 hens! Game birds are pretty big around here. My friends breed and show Malays, Aussie Game, Indian Game, OEG and the Bantam Moderns! I'm taking my Silver...

I still have 3 out of 4 eggs growing happily inside the bator. Lockdown on Monday!

ooo jandrusrn! You are a whole week ahead of me! Hope that you get your first pip soon! I hope that you don't stay up all night watching the incubator

I'm happy to say that I was wrong when I last candled! I thought 2 of my 4 eggs were dud. Tonight I can see movement in 3 eggs! Egg #3 seems to be the only one that i can't see movement in! YAY! I hope I have babies next week! I go into lockdown on Monday too Nikkipar. Can't wait! On another...

Hmmmm out of my 4 little eggs, I'd say eggs #2 & #3 have quit on me. Egg #4 looks like a dinosaur trying to escape and Egg #1 is clearly alive too.

My humidity is sitting at 34% at the moment. I just make sure it doesn't get any lower than 20 or any higher than around say 45%? In that range and I am happy. I am about to candle and see if I can see anything. Day 10 for me and I had the light globe in my home made incubator blow yesterday...

In my opinion I would say 'Do not toss the eggs!' It is not actually THAT common for eggs to burst and unless you can smell a foul odour coming from the egg, you are pretty safe. Wouldn't you hate to risk killing an embryo just because you couldn't see? You can also do the 'float test'. I'm...
