I'm brand new to hatching eggs. I knew nothing and fear I've harmed the first batch but can't be sure, like candling too old and float tested too old. See I didn't date the first batch somewhere around late April. I'm incubating those all the way up until the 13th of May in the same batter, problem number 437. I need help desperately from you old times. Btw, one seems to be pipping.

Best of luck to you!

If you've got one that has pipped the shell then you most likely set the eggs around april 22 - 24 ish.

I have had eggs that I've candled every day still hatch.

as long as the egg that you float tested hadn't pipped it should be fine.

sounds like you should have a chickie baby soon.

^u^ the hardest part is waiting to find out if it's all going to work out.

I'm a worrying chick mom, I already love the sweet things without a single hatch! Thx for the response.
