7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

[ronott1]

After packing up my incubator and heading to Westport in our RV... with 38 eggs due on New Years day.  3 hatched out last night, and 26 today.  Nine of 38 still waiting to hatch...   This is my first hatch, I am concerned that 29 of 38 eggs all hatched a day + early, do you think there is still hope for the remaining 9?  I set them on Dec 11th at noon, kept the temp at 99.5-100 and humidity at 45-55.  I thought they were all supposed to hatch late tonight or tomorrow, right?  So maybe there is still a chance for the remaining 9 ??  I have some amazing gopro video of the hatch, which I can share when I get to  better internet service on Monday, or sooner If I can.

They might hatch but you never know! Wait a day or two after the last one hatches and check the eggs that have not hatched.

It's 11:23 Here, I've got 3 pips, two somewhere between 6-8, and the third one in front of my eyes at 8:48. They are peeping away but haven't made any more progress.
Pictures!

Can you hatch bantams and regular sized chicken together and keep them together?

Nope. I pulled off a little of the white membrane stuff there stuck to his beak, and he pushed it under the shell. He pipped, I looked at him, and a few minutes later he hit it really hard and kept hitting till it fell off.

I wonder how long it'll take these guys... I want them to hatch right now!
