Good! 4 successful chicks and 3 that didn't hatch, we broke them open and none of them was the yolk back in their belly. So would this mean they died a few days before hatching. But the other 4 seem to be doing well eating and drinking and sleeping

Not yet! Fingers crossed

End of day 21: 4 chicks hatched successfully out of 7. The other 3 have no signs of hatching yet! But of course going to give them a couple days. I cant wait to hatch another clutch. Only did 11 this time being my first time, and am looking forward to filling the incubator next time around. I'd...

So far 2 chicks, 2 others have pipped, and 3 eggs aren't doing anything yet!

Thanks so much. The more I look at it it did look like an umbilical cord of sorts. It's been drying up. Also another question! The chicks are running around running into other eggs. Will this affect the other trying to hatch or is that just part of Mother Nature?!

Currently have two hatched but the second one had some stuff attached to it. It's still there just dried up and I didn't touch him. Is it just from inside the shell and will it be ok? I have two more pips, 3 eggs with nothing so far. My rooster is a barred rock and I have a light Sussex or...

Here's my first chick that hatched overnight!!! Such a cutie and looks just like his dad!! Another one is zipping and another has pipped!

Make that 2 pips!!

My first pip!!!! checked on them at 1:30 and went back out at 4! amazing how fast it happens. love sitting next to the incubator and listening to their chirps! Im hooked!

Thankyou so much! Helps a lot and now I'll know for my next batch!!

That's great! I know some may come early and others may come a little late! Good luck

I counted day 1 as the day I set them. So would I still be on day 20? And tomorrow will be day 21? Still learning and trying to read up on everything but haven't heard anything about that

Update! Day 21, no pips on any eggs yet but I can hear chirping and they're wiggling around occasionally. So anxious and nervous. I'd be happy with one successful chick! Andddd I think I'm overthinking it too which makes me even more worried!

I'll be sure to post some pictures!! So far just some wiggling

I am on end of day 19 going on day 20 of my first try at incubating chicken eggs. I collected the eggs from my existing flock. I started with 11 eggs and am now down to 7! Some were infertile. I am extremely nervous about the next couple days and was wondering if anyone had any advice! They are...
