A'm i just freaking out?????

[motherhenaz]

i go in if i know that they have internally pipped at least 24 hours ago or so and nothing is happening some say you can wait a couple of days but i get scared and worry they will die in the shell, if they have internally pipped and you wait the 24 hours and nothing happens thats when i make a small hole in the large end you can see what is going on. if the chick seems really tired then you can take the end off. this is what i have done but some say not to help, so it is a personal call

What if they move an dont pip internally?...

 

[motherhenaz]

i hope someone else can answer the no internal pipping. mine were always pipped internally. i dont know if you can do anything until they internally pip

>< k thanx.. I am having a rough hatch... And I worry the mover and shaker right now might not pip in any way... Watch it come out with two heads an four legs..

 

[jfulcher]

Can u hear when they have pipped internally thru the bator???

 

[motherhenaz]

i have read that if you can hear them peeping then they have internally pipped so if you are hearing them then they have probably internally pipped. thats how i knew mine had i waited 24 hours and most of them hatched but i did help some that did not.

I would leave them be...if your temps were jumping from 99 to 100 then it may take a day or two longer. Once you see pips then it takes (normally) 12 hours to start to zip and zipping can take a few hours on top of that. If you don't see any pips leave them alone for a few more days. If by day 25 they are not pipped yet, then maybe take one out and see what happened and open it up. Good luck! I'm sure you will get some pips soon

I have an LG I used to incubate in but now I mainly use it as a hatcher. How is your humidity. This is what I do to bring up my humidity and it works good.
