Do you have the hatch day right? And or has the temp or humidity been up and down alot?

Its an LG still air and i have had some crazy temp issues. I think I have it pretty much normalized now and has been for a week at least. But who knows, lol. I had the hatch date wrong once, they were due the 8th and I thought they were due the 7th, but that is as much play in the dates as there could be. I haven't seen any movement of the egg from the outside, but when I candled there was a lot of movement although it was hard to tell because its pretty dark and full except for the air pocket.

should i try to take it off now or wait till i move them to the brooder?

If it was me I would try now. I would think the sooner the better. Keep us posted.

Hugo's eye is nice and clear now and i didn't do anything to it... I'm wondering if maybe somebody levied it? He had it closed for awhile then when it opened it was clear. So maybe it was a piece of membrane. It just need to soak.

I just washed fast and when I filled it back up with really warm water to get the humidity back up quick.

Well keep them in the bator for a while longer. It sounds like they are getting ready to pip. So lets keep our

crossed.

So far 8/10 have hatched. One is trying. A little worried about it because he looks awful wet in that shell, wetter than the rest. The 10th egg is a silkie egg I put in the day after the rest, so maybe tomorrow

Yeah I have two pips, I am so excited. Started out with 12 Nankin banty and 2 Banty Wellsummer. Now have 6 Nankin and 1 Wellsummer that looked good at last check, 1 Nankin and Well are pipping. I so want a few Nankins and pray they all come out okay. Hope everyone else is having a successful hatch with me.

Joy
