Button eggs hatching in 3 days :D - 6 HATCHED so far and piks

[Moorat]

well its 6pm here and still nothing

well theres a really faint crack on one of the eggs and a few moments ago i quickly snuck one of them out without affecting the humidity alot and put it next to my ear and heard tapping and felt the egg move from the inside and that lifted my spirits again

quickly snuck it back in and now im just keepin an eye on them every hour especially the one with the crack ..so draining, the anxiety of it all i cant wait hehe
unless they all get a random burst of energy in the next 6 hours and hatch altogether i dont think any of them are gonna hatch til day 17
but hope they do

cant wait to see them for the first time and share some piks hehe its still hard to imagine how small theyre gonna be when i look at these eggs

real life mini eggs

I've hatched 2 batches of these now. None of them hatched until day 18, and a few each time took until day 22.

Watched eggs don't peep. They hatch pretty quick once they do start peeping. IF you can imagine a big bumble bee with legs that is what the little ones will look like. They are really tiny.

Believe me, they're smaller than bumblebees. Just wait an hour and then come back to it.

The more you open the incubator, you are bringing in cool air and delaying hatch to the other eggs. Some eggs may even quit

Just patience my friend. That's why they call it lockdown. You don't open until the hatching is over

Thanks for the replies everyone

i figured that watching them just isnt healthy so i eventually just emptied my mind of worry and went to bed
buttttt look what I just woke up to

sorry its fuzzy i had to do it on my webcam but when more hatch il upload the ones from my phone

I was so suprised Im so glad that i woke up early around 7am I never do usually so something must of told me in my head hehe its sooooooo small Q__Q it must of hatched like 2 hours ago or something cause its been an hour that iv been up looking at him and hes starting to get more and more active every minute (if its a he)

Im a little sad i missed the first one to come out though

but theres 9 more eggs and alot of them have pipped since last night

OMG.. OMGGG ONE JUST HATCHED RIGHT NOW

I abandoned what i was typing when i looked over and saw a little head sticking out of an egg hahaha this si so wierd it was so instant im so sure that i didnt see any zipping on any of the eggs when i was wathcing the first guy haha

Well 4 more have hatched since the last 2 so six altogether now out of the 10 eggs in the incubator

the 4 eggs left- one was rotten and almost empty i could tell by how it stood and the weight of it, the 3 still in the incubator, only one looks promising and it has a pip but just gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best

the six in the brooder atm are soooooooo cute they have already learnt how to drink

they are real life bumblebees on legs hehe

heres some piks

The first hatched

The fourth chick (what I thought was the third one- one secretly hatched while i was watching this one zip) zipping.

awwwwww

6 fluffees in the brooder ^____^ all healthy and sleepy
Looks like thsi hatch has already been a success especially considering they were shipped

yaaaay

They are soooo cute. They get big quick, so enjoy them. If the other haven't hatched, go ahead and open them. They most likely did not make it, but you may still have one or two still alive that just need a hand.

Good Luck,
Teresa
