Tonight around 8 is day 21 for me. I have 10 Lavender Orpingtons in the bator. Shouldn't I be seeing some movement of the eggs and pips by now?
I'm really nervous and want to open the bator and candle them!!
This is my first hatch.

Thank you for you well educated advice,Bantumlover 124. I checked first thing this morning and still not movement apparant. He may be just resting, hopefully. If he makes it will be a strange group of chicks. some hatched early, one very late. I'm just worried he will have a crooked neck and deformed body, having been active for 3 days. He was rolling and kicking when I picked him up, now nothing. HUMM.  On a brighter note the other 9 are growing fast, and looking good.

I hope all goes well
And your welcome, Nashonni

Great looking babies! I love hatching with you all! My August hatch is finished. Out of 6 locked down, we have five beautiful babies. The other one was alive and well at lockdown but just didn't make it out. Poor guy. But I'm still so pleased with the turn out. Here's pics of my babies. I look forward to Sept. hatch with you all!

Yay, so glad to see everyone's babies and hear the stories! My first batch of 11 eggs is officially on lock down. All but three look viable. They are from a SF rooster crossed with a BR and an EE. I am so excited to see what genetics will throw our way!

Don't worry.it is early....They will hatch on mother natures time.....not ours............

Really, even under a hen the eggs sometimes take a little time.. .
I would suggest not messing with them at all....................can cause them harm if they are trying to get into position.....
They do not always hatch day 21................

It is during this time that my house gets real clean............stay busy to keep myself sane................

Check back with us later.......good luck...............
