Whoanellie, hang in there.
I posted a note about alot of pips and no zipping and someone told me to lower the humidity to 60%. When I woke it was 63 and all the chicks started hatching. I think you are good. #4 is almost done zipping. they are starting to fluff up. alot of sleeping. Ill post some pics later when I grab em out.

*sigh* Thank you!!! Thank You! I'm breathing again.

Congrats on your chicks!

I can't wait to see them.

Nell-when your chicks start zipping/hatching your humidity will jump, so you're at a good spot now

I'm sure you'll see pips soon

How is everyone doing? Jimma? more chicks yet? Nellie? Any pips?

 

[jimma207]

this is so great. better than I hoped for. #5 just hatched. 6and 7 waiting to zip. set these eggs exactly 3 weeks ago this hour. Taking a very long time to dry and fluff.
anything yet nellie?

Nothing yet. My fiance keeps telling me that watched eggs never hatch. HAHA
I didn't set them until Saturday evening, so I keep telling myself that something is bound to happen tonight or tomorrow morning.

I've had two children and I don't remember the anticipation of labor being this rough on me.

I'm so excited for you guys. I know I keep saying I'm jealous, but I'm really not.

Well day21 was yesterday for me and nothing has happned no pips nothing! Should i not be worried? Or should I?

 

[One Acre Wonder Farm]

Nell- something will happen soon, I know it!

RJF- no worries yet! How did your last candling look? Temp/humidity has been stable? Sometimes they don't start until late on the 21st day, sometimes even on the 22nd!
