Whyyyyyy is it taking foreverrrrrrrr, I’m being impatient lol. Four eggs looking great! 5 days til lockdown. A bit grumpy because the incubator I’ve been stalking went up in price

LOL It seems to always take forever for each stage!!!!!! LOL You are getting soooo close!!! What incubator have you been stalking?

UGH been almost 7 hrs since I got home from work and peeked and saw the pip and noticed the internal pips and there has been ZERO change. ;( well when I looked about 40 min ago I think it was... No other external pips and the external one hasn't changed at all. The hard thing is I checked at 8:30am and there was nothing, had to work and got home at 4:30pm and it was there so I have NO idea how long it had been there before I got home.. hoping for something soon or I may miss it either while sleeping or getting my oil changed and tune up on my truck tomorrow.

Had 1 of the 4 that are on day 20 that hadn't internally pipped when I checked earlier. Now I know why since I it externally pipped on the wrong end. So 2 external pips (but 2nd may take a while since it is on the wrong end), and 2 still just internal pips. First pip hasn't changed at all in 7+ hrs. And others haven't externally pipped in 7+ hrs..... Getting nervous

it may take 24 hr after a pip.

Just know if it pips it needs to breathe and rest a bit and STILL absorb contents. Don't help until after 24 hrs, if you do go slow, and if there is blood stop. Keep flour on hand to dab blood.

Ya I have only had to help one a tiny bit in my past hatches.

First one is out!!!! It was the first to pip too. 2 others are starting to make the hole bigger to start zipping

 

[junior67]

3 of them are out. Last one is the pip on the wrong end, so that may be a bit. Then I have the one on day 19.

Here are the 3 that have hatched. There is 2 pics of the 3rd. Still waiting on the little one that pipped at the wrong end.
