I did have a batch of Ameracaunas that were all clear and shipper said she has 100% development on site. I wonder if some hubs are harder on eggs than others.

Pam you will probably get some hatching tomorrow. Dark eggs tend to take longerPanic is starting to set in.....I have 24, pricy little Black Copper Marans due yesterday and I have ONE PIP!That's IT! ONE PIP! I've heard peeping since yesterday (even took the once chick we still have in here outside to make sure it wasn't her) and since my last hatch didn't have much activity until the morning after they were due I wasn't too worried but now I'M WORRIED!
I set the eggs at 9:10pm on March 30th. 12 were shipped eggs and they did set a few days after they got her, they were packed well. Only down would be I waited a few days longer then probably preferred but nothing that I shouldn't let some hatch. 11 I hand carried from the breeder and set them the night I got them. One is one of my Blue Copper Marans covered by my Ameraucana, I only have one Olive Egger and it's my lone chick I kept from the last hatch.
It's in the Brinsea Octagon 20 w/humidity pump. I had some funky humidity issues in the first couple of day with the tube being pinched but I can't see how that should effect anything. Then I just pinched the humidity cord a couple of hours ago and the humidity dropped to 38% when I moved the incubator to see the other side but I only have one small pip so I can't imagine an hour of low humidity would do anything.
I candled at day 8 and again a couple of days before lockdown and only two weren't developing one way or another but these are very dark eggs so very difficult to see more then yes, there's something in there.
According to the calculator they would be due 19th (Friday) but I set them late so I calculated for the 20th.....here we are on the 21st!Glad the grandkids couldn't come for the NO hatching party! Would have been quite the flop! I'm just sick over this! This SO not good!
Oh, the only thing I did different is setting the Brinsea to work with the new feature of the daily cooling. Could that have delayed the hatch?????? Are they dead???? Why couldn't this happen on my FREE eggs!
Just went back to see and I didn't have the cool thing turned off. I was thinking it would turn off but never checked so during lockdown they've been getting cooled each day for hour! Please just say all this has delayed the hatch not destroyed it!
go pene's go
niceBurnt Out. I could not bring myself to finish painting the trim or install the roosts today. Jeez..... motivation has tanked.
No - their butts aren't all that fluffy. Not when you compare it to say an Orp. I have 5 fluffy poopy butts to bathe on those fatties. LOL I am curious what this little bugger is going to look like when it's all dried. Poor thing- the other 2 eggs haven't even pipped yet so he is peeping his heart out in the bator.Problem solved! I'll take them! We can meet halfway between your house and mine. It will be fun
ETA I am sorry, though. That would be really disappointing. I know you were really looking forward to having more BLRWs running around. Does bottom fluff need to be trimmed?

Pam, just hang in there. I had some shipped marans eggs due yesterday also, they started hatching today, some just pipped within the last hour.
The chicks are coming the chicks are coming! So far 1 Pita Pinta and 1 Basque have made their debut. 3 more are zipping and 6 more have pipped. This is nuts!! (Disclaimer: this is the first time I'm hatching my own eggs from my chickens I had as eggs. Crazy!)
BigDaddysMom I'm sure it will be fine. At least there's one pip happening. The others can't be far behind!
Beautiful coop pictures today! Makes me want to build another one. They're the best when they're new ;-)
