are my eggs ok? Got new chicks! come take a look at the video!

[Elphaba2140]

In my last batch I had some zip in 15 minutes and others that were more than 6 hours! Either way they hatched out ok. Important-DO NOT open the bator no matter how tempted you are. Sit on your hands and be patient.

OK! I have to slap myself every time I want to touch them! The pip got bigger!

 

[chichi56788]

Ok now I have 2 pips in the same egg. Is that good?

Is that zipping? The pips are about an 2 cm apart.

 

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

Yep, that's the start of the zipping. The chick will turn a complete 360 pecking and pipping.. Sometimes it will even make a couple 360's to do a good job. YaY for you.. Come on chickies!!!!!!!!

 

[chichi56788]

Yay! I hope it is a blue orpington, but a back one is fine too.

 

[chichi56788]

My chick is zipping around the small end. I fear it is upsidown. Is it ok?

 

[lemurchaser]

They sometimes hatch out the wrong end, usually its just fine. They'll hatch first because they don't have the airsack to pip into. Everyone else will likely not start for a bit because they're all breathing into the air cell.

3! I have 3 pips!

I believe I should be calling it zipping now. I hope I have little fuzzybuts running around in the incubator tomorrow morning.

 

[aka Rachel]

I hope you do too! Good luck!
