Day 17!!

[Jaimes09]

First eggs I’ve ever incubated and so far going well. I see slight movement on all 3 eggs. Tomorrow by 11am I’ll stop the automatic rotation! Hoping all goes well. I did notice however 1 egg weights more than the other 2.

Looking good! I will be watching along, since I am done with hatching for the year.

Exciting! Hopefully you get them all hatching. I’ll be watching.

Won't hurt to lockdown on days 16-17, just to let you know.

Day 18 is commonly used as a lockdown down day.

Yes, I've locked down on both.

It's up to you, on what lockdown day you are comfortable with though.

Thank you!, was wondering how long does it take for them to come out the egg?

From pip to zip. Could be 24 - 48hrs depending on the chick. Some will hatch a few hours after pipping at the soonest.

Patience before assisting, like wait 24hrs.

If no progress has been made since then, you'll need: Tooth Pick, or tweezers(Your pick), Water, or Coconut oil, (These are to help moisten the membrane, & help see if veins are still present), Paper towel.
