Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

We got our first wiggle yesterday.. or was it 2 days ago. We had our first pip this morning but not much after that... still waiting.. how long does this take? It has been since 8:30 this morning and it is 3:27... who is counting right? It is like waiting for your kids to be born.... tick tock tick tock.

roxanne, my incubator was pretty much packed. I'm up to 16/28 so far. I added twelve or more eggs the next two days after i started incubating, that may account for the ones that haven't hatched yet.

here is a video of one of the chicks breaking out of the shell, with some help from a sibling...

Look at all those Fuzzy butts. I just love it!!!

I said the same thing to a friend of mine!!! Told her that now I know what my poor ex-husband went through when I had the kids. My eggs were taking anywhere from 12-14 hours after they pipped. I saw someone else's only took 3 hours. What I thought was weird was the fact that that all but 1 hatched around the same time (10pm) as I had placed them in the incubator.

After having such bad luck with the last hatching, i was happy today when I candled these shipped ameraucanas and saw this one doing the happy dance....enjoy

So exciting!!!

Oh really.. Hmm I think I put them in the incubator towards the evening too. So maybe by bedtime. But out of all the 36 eggs... only 2 have pipped. So that is kinda weird. I wonder if the others will pip soon and be born tonight... Man.. this waiting is crazy!

. You have one more day then. Hope to hear good news tomorrow. I am on day 16. I have several that I think died midway, but most are still alive I think. I just checked on a couple of them today. The eggs are now totally dark, and I could see movements near the air sac. I think I have the humidity in the high side - 50%, as the air sac is on the small side. Keeping my fingers crossed that the remaining ones will be fine. Two more days til lock down for me. It is hard to sit on your hands, isn't it?
