Ok so last night at about 10pm I put all my eggs in lockdown it's only day 18 I have a pip in one of my BCMs...anyone ever have a pip this early? Is this a bad sign? They are being incubated in the same incubator as all my eggs from the previous hatch and this hatch. the other hatch started on day 20. I have never had a pip this early before Kind of nervious that something will be wrong with it.

I've never had one pip on day 18. I have had them pip on day 19 though. Everything turned out alright with mine. Are you temps running a little high? I know that can cause early pipping.
No it's been steady on 100. But an update I have 5 chicks this morning and 4 pips... one of the pips is still the one that piped on day 18 with no more progress but shes moving. Still hopeful it will hatch. It's a BCM and the only one so far with any signs of life. The others are Splash Marans and Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks. I also have a couple cochin eggs with nothing happening yet. But I set them at 11pm so it's still only day 20 until 11pm so I still have hope. Gave my broody two of the eggs and she has one that piped. Not sure about the other as I didn't want to bother her too much.
