This is my first time trying to hatch eggs and I had a chicken that drowned in my duck pond:(. However I had three eggs from her before she died and she was my first hen to be fertilized by my young cockerel so I gave her eggs to one of my hens that has always been super broody! One got eaten by something outside right before it hatched, and one stopped developing. So I brought my hen inside with her eggs and she refused to sit on it so I brought in a hen that just started sitting on a clutch of eggs and added the last egg to hers. It is now pipping and I am so eggcited! But I'm also nervous that she will leave the other eggs once this one hatches:barnie:confused::jumpy second picture is the pip, firs
0]] is one of the other eggs! P.s that is a pip right?

It can't be a pip if the two pictures were taken the same day. The first picture is of an egg that just started incubating - perhaps 4 days or so.

The “pipped egg” had been incubated by other hens that gave up on it when she brought them inside. The hen that it was under now just went broody, that’s why the other egg is so far behind.

It looks like a pip to me, it looks like the impact came from the inside (which is what we want). Good luck!
 
I woke up this morning with my popped egg out from under the momma and it still look exactly like it did in that picture is it okay?
