yeah that's probably true, they get all shook up. Sorry still though, no-one likes to learn the hard way!

Totally I've found a local hatchery which I didn't know was there and will buy from them in future, will not be purchasing from ebay again.

Well I had 1 hatch and die on me toda, I don't know what happened. It had poked through the egg and I was watching for hours , never heard a peep just the tapping on the egg from the inside , then nothing, I brought it out and the beak was there but no movement.. I put it back in and still nothing for hours. I found out at some point it died
I'm hearing tapping on the others now so I guess the waiting game begins
So heart breaking

I second that, so sorry it can be rough, but honestly sometimes that happens. The others are tapping, can you hear them peeping?

I was hoping for some advice in what to do as this is my first hatching experiance, it is day 23 and I havent seen any peeping yet, I have candled 2 of my eggs and see movement but shouldnt they have at least tried to get out yet? Im afraid Im going to lose them, im getting no sleep checking on them all the time. please help!

I'll tell you what to do. I did this with my eggs and it worked wonders. Open the incubator and peck on the eggs with your finger nail (Gently) and listen. I'm the Wild hens will peck their eggs to tell the chicks to hatch. When I pecked on my eggs the chicks started chirping and peeping like crazy. They hatched late that evening. I didn't think it would work but it did. I'd watch my hens do it and then I'd try it myself and it worked.

I will try the tapping Ty! I have one peeping today when I woke up but no hope in the egg yet thou. My little one started chirping really loud when I was going to leave so I put the egg in there for about 10 seconds then back to the incubator hoping to encourage it.

How are they doing ? Any news?
