Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Sally Sunshine]

I have a pip! It's one of my silkie eggs. I expected the serama to hatch first. The pip is a little below the last air cell line I drew on day 18. This is day 20. Should I do anything? What if it didn't pip into the air cell?

You got a pip its fine, remember it stills looses a lot of weight the last days of incubation! its fine and doing great!!

I took that with my iPad. I hope you can tell what you are looking at. Does that pip look ok? My humidity is 67. Is that ok?

perfectly placed pip and just like Rock says!! YAY!!

OMG! The pipped silkie just spontaneously hatched within like 20 minutes of me being away from the incubator! It looks really good and strong. I'm posting a pic. Do I leave it in? It's flopping everywhere.

Yes, you should leave her in until she's fully dried. Congratulations on the chick!

My chicks are nearly 2 weeks old and I am curious of their sex. Two have no tail feathers yet and have obvious combs coming in. Three have tail feathers coming in but no obvious combs forming yet. Do you think the two with no tail feathers yet and combs are Roos? These are eggs that came from a mixed lot of Ameraucanas and EEs that were covered by a Black Orpington.

OH guess the sex photos needed!! head shots tail shots too!!

I tell yea. Leghorns are the most fearless chickens. I think they have the little people syndrome.

This was there first time outside with the Light Brahma chicks.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL IMAGE!!!

I have a serama egg pipped! The first pipped egg has done nothing else new. Humidity dropped to 65 and I can't get it above that for some reason. I don't want to open the incubator, so I've been adding water with a straw and syringe.
