Candle and tap tomorrow to check up on them to give you a pc of mind!  if you have to mist the side of the bator to keep up by instant humidity

Ok what do you mean by tap? Like tap on the egg? When I candle what do I need to be looking for? Sorry but I wanna make sure I'm doing it All right! I've been a nervous reck and I'm so upset that something I did could cause them not to hatch.

Hello!!

Um, not too much. There are 2 with yolk sac but the one that just hatched has a little more and is still attached to the egg. There are 7 hatched chicks in the bator right now.... When do I take the yolkies out??

They should be fine to take out when they fluff up like the others. Just seperate them

Quote: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching read through this, yes tap lightly and listen and look for movement and chirps or little knocking on the egg, whistle too and see if it chirps to you...... see article to understand whats going on and to be prepared just in case too! the steps are all there!

we have pips in the silkie egg and the cochin egg in the hatcher.... hopefully they hatch soon because I need to clean it for all the silkies sizzles and serama headed in on sunday!!

Did I mention I am chicked out? LOL I better get a grip as I have a looooonnnnggg way to go until this bator is empty!! Harmony is getting serama eggs from Bhep (giving them to her to boot!) and they should be here tomorrow and she told me 18 she is sending her! OMG! Harmony is thrilled, we have well over a doz button quail eggs in but I think they are all hens! I get three eggs a day! so I am getting someone elses buttons next week and will set them and pray for a male. AND then I am saving silkies and cochin for the easter hatchalong!! So I will have quite a few chicks to sell by the end of the month! but who knows with shipped eggs right? always expect less than 25% and if you get 50-75% you lucked out big time!

I am still paranoid about bubba, I still have bubba and his two friends aside me almost all the time! and I am forever peaking in on them, I think bubba hates me for all I have done to him, he runs as fast as he can when he sees my hand! the others run to peck me! LOL even his stance is closing up!

ALSO my spitz are getting their mohawks already! they just started to pop up and so cute!!! and the WFS are sleek little guys! I think it takes a long time (a year?) till they get the actual white faces, Sumi gal help me here?
