10 BBS Orps - Seven hatched! PICS P.2 & 4

[LocoPollo]

I have four pipped now and others rocking away. The ones who have pipped seem to be pecking at the same spot over and over. Is this normal before zipping, or are they having trouble moving in their shell? It is the beginning of day 21, the humidity is 66% and I have not opened the bator since day 18.

Leave them alone. They may be out by tonight.

Whistle loud and encourage them to work. I have whistled many chicks out of those eggs.

Yeppers! Whistling definitely gets them going! It is cute. It is driving my dog crazy atm, but is really helping the chicks! LOL

WOW! They zipped fast!! And they hatched!!

Here is the pip:

Here is the hatch!

I have a video of it too! We'll see if I can publish it!

WOOHOO!

Looks like they are both BLUE! Hopefully at least 7 more will hatch today!

OMG!!!! How cute! I love your zipping photos - they tell the story, don't they?

 

[LocoPollo]

That was my first time seeing a zip. My last hatch the first one hatched in the night and then I helped the rest (bad me! ) so I missed seeing a zip. It went really fast! They took forever to start really zipping, then they went around in about ten or fifteen minutes! It was great!

I LOVE THIS!!!
