OMG OMG OMG....Was gone 1/2 hour and came back to a hatched baby, one i didtnt see a crack in the shell at all all morning.!! WOW he was fast..and one zipping and one a star crack..!BUT the hatched one had a piece of the memebrane stuck to him for afew minutes and dragged the shell thru the eggs now the guy who was part zipped is turned over i think withthe zip down I see a star crack on one if its him but dont see the 1/3 zipp that was showing 3 minutes ago.Wil he be able to hatch ok? I m beyond excited!!!
these are the Lavender Orps HOOORAAY

Mine have been zipping super fast today too!

Congrats on the speedy delivery.
I'm sure the one that was zipping, will be fine-- but next time you might want to use a carton if you're concerned about rolling eggs. Or I use paper cups cut way down, - use any kind of 'egg holder' you find suitable.

Lavendar orps... oooo pretty!

My update ...Boy is this a good day!
...Now my granddaughter saw another pip
I Ithink if i am looking correctly if these last 2 hatch that i wil have 6 of 8 hatch or maybe 9 as i cant see all the breed names on the eggs and some are others
Not too bad for shipped. But think ihad 12 to begin with.

Learned something tonite...Here is my last guy hatched ON THE WRONG END AND CENTER but he did it all alone Strong guy!

Thats what Midnight did and rush to me assoon as he saw me frantic!!HOop on my hand SAd!!!So Glad i had more coming and now hes not alone or iwould do what you did go 3 hours away to get a chick friend from Cackle!!!
WAS thinking would the dark one you have possibl y turn the color you want later?i dont know Silkies so dont know the paint color

No *sigh* I wish.

This is what paint babies are supposed to look like:

And mine is just dark bluish.
I love her to death, but c'mon. Paints are expensive, and I should have gotten what I paid for. It's just frustrating.

I can't find her a friend! Called all the local feed stores, and they all told me that their chick season is over and to check back in september.
Well that defeats the purpose.

And craigslist has nothing! Only some chicks that are maybe 3 weeks old, but I want one that is more her age, a week or younger.
She's so sad! She needs someone!

Wait until they are all nice and dry- you just don't want them to catch a chill. 
About 8 - 12 hours... all depends on your time frame, they can stay over night or if they hatched early in the morning then you can take them out in the evening if you are concerned about your remaining eggs. You just want to be sure that they all get some water.
Water is the most important thing-- they'll figure out food on their own. 

Thanks. I moved the first eight out after about 7 hours as it was getting crowded in my incubator. They are still wobbly and are sleeping most of the time. I think I will give them water tomorrow morning. Thanks.

bad thing is about that the chick is alone because the mom doesn't want to take care of the other ones just the two with her 

R there any more to hatch??
Or
Put a mirror & go to YouTube to get a recording of babee chicks sound....he/she won't feel alone!!

Well found this little oddity in my LO's . Gold!!!
Tthen ipicked an egg shell out and saw a BB hatched last night early and i thought it was another LO!!!HAHA.Glad its here but need more LO's!!

Have aLO guy in the incubator drying and another who just hatched but he has been trying since yesterday about 11
.I tryed to help him last night as he hadnt done any more than pip in 13 hours and wasnt trying by then either so took off the shell around the egg almost all the way.Leftthe membrane This morning he STILL wasnt out but finally did ,However now a goo or yolk no doesnt look like just like yolk exactly that much is hang on him,EUUUOO What do i do? let nature take its course to dry that up or will it kill him not all i?.The others had alittle string but his is a lot more.

I know this question has been on here before but dont know where

Buff Brahma thinks hes an LO(.2nd from top)
Midnight the BBS is the roo already >If hes a hen i'll eat my hat.......A-GRES-SIVE.Riding herd already as you can see ...Stands watch

Have not been on site but have been reading everyones posts. Had difficult hatch of three eggs. One pip at wrong end and died in egg. Truly unfortunate.
Took me forever to get a picture in here! Guy on right was assisted hatched on the 7th and the one on the leftt hatched morning of the 8th but had one heck of an umbilical hernia which is presently drying up so fingers crossed all will be OK (that is why they are seperated). Eating drinking pooping!

I am very happy and excited for all of you that are hatching so many cute cute babies. Congrats!
