I had a Blue one pip in about the same place and it hatched fine, so I am watching this one, it is moving and chirping.

Here are some pics from this morning:

They aren't the best but it's all I got for now.


Cyn,
One of Zoe's was almost zipped when I left, Amanda's is the one pipped low and Bess has one pipped too.

I believe that one you have of Zoe's is her first ever incubated. She's quite a stocky girl with very nice barring.

It should be out today, it was about half zipped this morning, I am going to have to move chicks when I get home, I hate doing that when eggs are still in the hatching process, but the 6 out already are going everywhere , I quickly , when I added a bit more water, moved the unhatched to the edge and one corner, also snagged the empty shells to try and give them more room. I look in a bit later to make sure humidity was back up and the last hatched is sleeping between two pipped eggs

One of my fears is that they will turn the eggs over and the unhatched won;t be able to get out.

I hatched a few bunches in egg cartons, but I felt the egg cartons took up so much room, so I now just put the eggs in on their sides and let them do their things. Even tho the early hatchlings bowl the eggs over a bit, it seems if they are going to hatch, they hatch.

Can you tell what colors you have yet on the rocks?

2 were still pretty wet, but the first is definitely Blue, I think one of the others is black, the third not sure. I am hoping that the rest will pip today, I just turned my heat on and so the temps in the incubator dipped a degree or two a few times so thinking they may be a little slow.

Can't wait to see them all dried and poofy.

Me either! The dryer one was standing on my little sponge I added, I think it was plotting an escape......

Ok was late getting home.


Halo, I have 3 babies so far , nothing else appears pipped so waiting

Cyn,
I got a Bess and a Zoe out , 3 more pipped Becca, Maddie and the wrong way one which is actually a Bess. The wrong way seems to be holding, I did carefully take a tiny bit more shell off and opened the membrane a little more, it is talking to me but I think still absorbing. The other 2 are working on it so maybe before too long.

All 4 of my Phoenix popped out and honestly I need to move the other 2 from thebator to hatcher but will hold of until tomorrow.


Just looked again and the Maddie is zipping right along. The Becca I swear is independent and going to long way around the shell , at least that is how it appears

Why must they taunt me ??????

Sounds like it's progressing nicely, though not fast enough for someone I know.

They can be so maddening!
