14 eggs in the incubator... due to hatch June 18.

Congrats guys! They are all so cute!!

I have 17 Cjexotic Silkie eggs due to hatch tomorrow or Monday and 12 Buttercups from my own birds..Currently I also have a late hatching guinea keet from the coop in the incubator. I'm so nervous..kinda hoping the keet will encourage the chickies to come out early!

Goodluck on the rest of your hatch

I have 12 so far, and I think that's gonna be it.. Two still in the bator with no signs of hatching.. Two pipped
With their beaks out but died... My error, probably shrink wrapped,I am sure, I should not have opened the bator till all were done. Two more hatched out after that, so don't know for sure...
during the hatch, the temp went up to 102 and I couldn't get it down, I thought the ones inside looked like the were panting so I took them out, what would another option have been... For future knowledge..?
 
Ok, final tally: out of 18 eggs; 2 were not fertile when candled at day 10, on day 21 - 12 hatched out, two pipped and had their beaks out, but couldn't get out.. On eggtopsy I found there was no air sac.. Or didn't seem to be, the babies completely filled the egg,.. No way to turn around, one egg had a chick, but it looked like it might have died a few days ago, and the last unhatched egg was just a thick yolk.. Must have missed it during candling. So I have twelve darling chickies,
