OMG, out of 12 of my own EE eggs I have 9 out and 3 pips. I'm about to die because I'm about to have a 100% hatch rate. I think I've finally figured out my LG forced air! I had one that pipped and then made a huge pip hole and never progressed so I worked from about 8 last night till 5 this morning to help it hatch. I was going to leave it alone but when I checked on it the last time before I helped there was water bubbling in his nostrils. I'm not sure what was causing that but I didn't want to let him drown because it seemed like he just wasn't strong enough to spin inside the egg to zip.

I have another newbie question. We are on day 12. I have candled the eggs and a few seem to have a vein that is moving around. Is this something bad? The chicks are visible and moving around.

So far so good

No, it's ok. The vein is attached to the embryo so it's suppose to move around. The blood has to get there somehow.

This is the umbilical cord!

Thank you for the correct word for that. I don't do so well with words when I wake up at 4am.

One egg had a crack from shipping so had to bin it but other then that pretty much 100% hatch rate every time i use it. the other chick is at the wrong end of the egg but hes got air now and just waiting for veins to recede and him to push out i have my eye on the r-com 20 pro but its soooooooooooooo expensive!
