It is always a relief to see the first pip!

That means you will have chicks hatching soon

Aww all these baby chick photos! Adorable!! Congrats everyone! I had my last remaining egg hatch...but it died.....i found it dead in the incubator....it was only just starting to fluff..

My very last one died during zip. It was moving along great, then stopped. I just thought it was taking a break,but then when I checked on it little later, it had stopped moving entirely and I knew something was wrong...

I'm over here sweating my humidity again, trying to send it upwards

I think I've added about a cup worth of water into the outer tray so far and I'm trying to be patient before adding more. My hygrometer is reading 64% but the gauge on the incuview looks like it's reading high. Oye. What to do with myself!?

So sorry to hear of these chicks not making it

It sucks that there's probably going to be more of it too.

to all!

One of mine did that on my second hatch. It had pipped, zipped then quit. It's a downer for sure, but things like that happen.

I don't have anything fancy like that. Instead, I figure that if I add water where my incubator's instructions say to and I can see humidity on the incubator window it's high enough.
Good luck with your hatch!

Is it just my anticipation dragging on the minutes, or do the first eggs to pip really take longer to hatch than the last eggs to pip?
