Awesome, I dont know how you did it. It would have done me in waiting any longer than I did.Hopefully you dont have to wait 24 hours for them to start to zip like I did.

WE HAVE A CHICK!!!!!!!

So now what to do with the little bugger? He's crashing eggs EVERYWHERE!

 

[WhoaNellie]

I got "Crash" out of the brooder before another egg pipped.
Have my humidity back up to 60% and my temp is coming back up.
I hear chirping from inside the incubator!

I think I'm going to be taking the day off tomorrow and

Thanks to you all for keeping your fingers crossed. You really helped me through the last couple of days.

I am SO happy for you Nellie!!

I can't wait to see pics!!!

Awesome, I see you were up late too. I only slept 4 hours hatch night. I had the same thing, only I had 3 chicks hatch right away, and they were rolling the others around. They all had pipped, so I left them alone and the all hatched after being tossed around. good luck with many more..............

Here's "Crash". Still our only one, but I hear peeping from the incubator.

I took the day off just for the occasion!

Nellie! He is precious! Keep us posted on the hatch! I am still in awe of your patience!!

I had two more pip today.
One of them has zipped 3/4 of the way and just stopped. I can't see any movement at all. I hope the poor little thing didn't die. It's taking all of my willpower to not open the window and check on it right now.

The other just has a tiny hole but is still active, just isn't zipping.

I think another might have pipped but on the wrong end and facing down. I cna't really tel because of where it is in the incubator. But it's made no progress since I noticed it and I'm assuming that it might be a goner.

I don't think I'd describe myself as "patient". The thought has actually occurred to me that I should start "helping" them out of their shells. ALL of THEM. HAHA
