I had 40 out 69 get to lock down and so far 17 have hatched. I think another 5 are pipped. What a mess the bator is tho, shells everywhere, chicks sleeping on eggs trying to zip,others chasing each other around. It's fun!

It gets easier as the years pass..I have moved my bator from the bedroom, to the living room, to the bathroom, now to the basement and if it is warm out ..in the barn. However this is my very first shipped egg hatch and I am a wreck. I have hardly slept. All that money out the window........if they don't hatch.

My DD had those when she was really young. The first time she did it, we tore off all her clothes, convinced something was biting her, then I tore her room apart looking for what scared her while my DH tried to calm her down. She looked at him like he was an alien and she was terrified, pushing away from him, screaming, eyes dilated... So scary!!

Not one of my shipped eggs have piped...I am terrified
