BYC's 4th of July Star Spangled Hatch-Along

[LydiaB]

Also, today is my birthday, guys. So maybe your chicks want to share a birthday with me?

I should have 1! It pipped last night so I’m hoping it will be out by the time I get home from work. Happy birthday!

2 chickies hatched, both from Goldie. 2 other pips in progress.

At least one of mine will. A few pipped and one made it out. Not due until tomorrow but this happens a lot.

I have a pip too! One of the chicken eggs pipped last night. I’m trying to be patient…

You should setup a hatch cam!

I don’t have a camera to use…
No hatch yet. Any advice on an upside down duckling? I have one…. I opened the pip a bit to allow plenty of air. No clue why it’s upside down…. They were incubated air cell up.
I have probably around 10 pips, more chicken than duck. But it’s only day 25.

3 chicks have hatched. One required help, he was upside down.
2 of the ducklings pipped on the wrong end… I caught one and helped it so it could breathe. Waiting until tonight or tomorrow to do more. The other I didn’t notice until today. Tossed it and 2 other failed duck eggs.
I did a few safety holes on both species. Since they are shipped eggs I’m helping more than I usually would. I still think only 10 of 22 chicken eggs will hatch, unsure about how many duck. There are 19 duck eggs still in. I don’t remember how many chicken.
