6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

hang in there it's gonna happen

Thanks. I'm telling you, the cheeping now is so loud it's as if something HAS to be pipped. But I can't see anything.. I'm wondering if it's one of the BLRW on their side and it's underneath?

I have a small hose that I use to add water through the vent hole. I use it to move things around and help things along during this time, if you have something like that you can move the egg around to check without opening incubator. just an idea

I have one out...

the other three cochins have pipped, but the LF wyandotts haven't yet????

Do bantums generally hatch sooner?

Congrats!!!! Bantam cochin...OMG, I need photos!!! When did you set them? Are they early or right on time? My eggs (also bantam cochin) are quiet, but I set them on 12/12...1 day late...I've held rock steady at 99.5, but no experience to know if they will be on time, early or late...

Haha I do that too!! But these eggs I separated in a strawberry container bc frankly I have no idea what BLRW look like when they hatch, nor do I know what my mutts will look like. So, those eggs are *fully* locked down.

I cut out the bottom of the container and cut long strips out of the sides and top, but still I'm paranoid having them in there has messed with their temp. But there's no reason it should..

Here's my first one. I have at least 7 more with pips. Unfortunately, I got stuck at work way longer than I thought I would. Got home and humidity had tanked. 3 eggs look like they are shrink wrapping. One is brown, one yellow and one going yellow. How long should I wait? I've got the hatcher up and running so I can move them over and not bother the other eggs. This chick wasn't from the 3 that were pipped before I left this morning, so 2 of them are the dry ones.

It's exciting scrolling through all of the new baby chick pictures! I haven't had any action on my end just yet. My eyes are glued to the incubator. I have to keep coming up with things to do to keep myself busy...trying to be VERY patient!
