What's this mean?? One of the pips thats new is bloody?? the egg is cracked, and I see a fair amount of blood around the pip, and no movement. What happened here?

The rest of the pipped eggs are working on it. Pips are getting larger, slowly zipping. Got one speed demon silkie, he first pipped an hour ago, and has half the shell away already almost lol.

Woke up this morning around 4 and had to check my eggies. I had 1 pip. Now I've got 4! I can't stop checking on them! LOL And every once in a while I hear a peep peep!

I'm so excited! But none of my eggs are moving. they are in a carton. Is this normal?

Yup no worries on that. Even when I didnt have mine in the carton I saw very little movement. This time in the carton, I just watched a chick hatch and the egg didnt move a bit.

I now have one silkie, one frizzle, 5 maran pips, 1 silkie pip (bloody?).

Update.

2 of ginas marans, 1 of Lisa's frizzles, 1 of dawn's silkies.

3 maran pips, 1 maran zip, and 1 maran 1/2 zip, and one silkie 1/2 zip.

 

[pbjmaker]

what about the bloody one? Is it the one that is 1/2 zipped?

 

[yotetrapper]

Yes. Half zipped since this morning, about an hour after I posted. It's alive, but not making any more progress.
