So I'm on day 20 and my first hatch ever to go the full distance ( I have hatched on day 20 everytime so far ) are holding strong as Ft. Knox! Not even a sign of a pip...yet. Our house gets hot during the day so I had to adjust my temps back. Out of the 7 hatches I have already done this is the first where my temps ran at target or slightly lower. I set them at 10 pm on the 18th, so my true due time is still 24 hours away. I fully expect most to hatch. I have put these eggs in cartons because the last several hatches I had that were crowded, the chicks that were hatched caused problems with my pips. It does take them longer to "depart" from the egg, but once out they can't roll the pips this way.
I am so excited for all the babies, and I can't believe what a great hatchalong thread this is.
Roxanne... I can see so many chances for splinter threads here!
