And why am I nervous? UPDATE! GOOD NEWS

[SkyWarrior]

Okay, I took a look today -- and I have a hatched chick!

Another egg is peeping up a storm, but hasn't pipped. The other six that are supposed to hatch aren't doing much yet. I maybe may only get 2 chicks from this hatch.

If I didn't have so much to do today, I'd be glued to the incubator.

U said the air sac was on the bottom. is it possible that u put some eggs up side down? would that even make a difference? i would like to know if it makes a difference.

I have them in a hovabator without a turner (I'm the turner

), so the eggs are on their sides and not upside down. It may simply be that the eggs got damaged in shipment.

Came home today to another chick! So, that is two!

Can't for sure see any more pips, but I have other eggs in the 'bator so I should get some more hatches.
