[Melissa Rose]

they started moving a little last night. I hated to go to bed but my husband told me it could take hours for them to actually come out. LOL. Im such a kid. I keep looking and watching. I have to work today and tomorrow so they will probably hatch while Im gone.

Peep at them

It does help and it gives you something to do

!!! I'm here I just have my Blue Laced Red Wyandottes a pipping

!!! 5 Fluffing 6 almost through zipping and two still a pipping

. It looks like all 13 that made it to lockdown are going to make it

!!! My welsummers are a loss! I think they died early on but being so dark I couldn't tell. I might get three out of the 9 but it doesn't look good! I'm really pleased with the BLRW though

. 2 Super Secret Mystery eggs made it to lockdown and are still going but haven't pipped yet

thebanthams it is very confusing this is also my first hatch ever dont know what the hatch day is guess ill have to wait and see and did u set ur eggs sunday to

 

[Melissa Rose]

If you set them on a Sunday the hatch date is the same hour the same day. So if you set them on Sunday at 6:00 pm the hatch date would be the 4th Sunday at 6:00 PM. It is confusing but if your temp was a little low they could take a few extra days also when I see mine rocking they still have a couple days to go before you get a pip. The movement is usually the chicklet getting into the right spot to internally pip then it takes a good day from internal to external then a good day to zip

They do two kinds of piping. Internal is first and it is when they break through the inner membrane. External is next and is when they break a small whole through the outside egg shell. Zipping is when they literally break a seam around the center of the egg to come out and play

Melissa,
Did you get your BLRW eggs shipped?
If so, can you tell me from whom you bought them?
We're thinking about BLRWs.
thanks
