A tiny hole and then nothing

[redhd077]

Ok so this is my first hatch and to day is hatch day. I haven't heard any peeping or see any rocking. This morning I was so excited because there is a little hole in on of the eggs. That was at 10am and it is now 7:30 pm and it is still the same. None of my other eggs have shown any signs either. Should I be worried that this one egg died or its just being slow?

They can take a long time to hatch after they pip. Some hatch in an hour, but that's not too common. Most take a day or so

You should be fine! I would also wait until at least day 23 before you give up on the others. Waiting is the hard part!

I have had them pip for over 36 hours before

Hoping tommorrow we wake up with babies...
Good luck

Hang in there. I'm a newbie and today is day 21. I had almost half hatch, but the ones that I tried to help died. They pipped and stalled for over 24 hours. So, I decided to help but they were all 3 crippled/malformed. Bad news. There was a reason they couldn't turn to zip. Is your humidity high enough? Make sure it's up there before any more pip so you won't worry about them getting stuck.

This was a lot harder emotionally than I thought it would be.

Why not open the air vents and raise the humidity a bit more. That's if you want to do anything. Otherwise keep the same humidity and wait patiently.

Still nothing on my little egg and nothing on any of the other 15 either. What could be going on?? This is day 22.
