It is hard when that happens and I am not really sure why it does. I have learned my lesson by trying to help, though. I helped two zip, and both died. It doesn't really make me feel better, but people said that they just weren't strong enough to survive.

Confession time!! I put mine in lockdown a day early cause we saw pips and cracks and now we are having second thoughts but still hoping for one healthy happy baby

I wasn't supposed to put them in lockdown til tomorrow, I hope I didn't screw up!

I heard somewhere pip to hatch can be 24 hours, but once zipped it should only be about an hour? I have found that to be true in my experience.

Here's some pics from baby #1:

He/she is so big and loud I don't think I'll be able to sleep!

I think that you did the right thing. If they pipped then it shouldn't take that long. Good luck!

I entered day 21 at midnight and this morning I had 1 out and a few pipping. This is the slowest hatch I've ever had!!!
