Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

[Kiki]

It’s the end of day 18 and I was wondering....(being worried and stressed) should I poke a hole in the air cell in case it pips early to help be able to breathe? Or wait until day 19 or 20?

NO!
Don't do that yet.

Just finished reading all 17 pages, I can't wait to see these babies hatch. So exciting....

I love the pictures of all the dogs and the two kittens, I love that so many have chosen rescues. They do make such terrific pets. Below is our two rescues. The first pic is Rags and he was adopted out of the North West Georgia Humane Society:

Bella is a rescue from Lyons, Kansas she is such a silly girl.

Ok back to waiting, and praying everything goes smoothly!!

Let it be known I suck at this p word. I am probably the most impatient person alive.

Wait.
Don't poke a hole. It is way too early, I promise.

How do they look? Do you hear any peeping? I would try to wait until Day 20 before messing around, although I would expect an earlier hatch because it is crowded in there.

This is a tricky situation. I'm not sure what can be done if they are unable to maneuver into a position to either break through into the air cell or make an external pip.

If you haven't already read them, here are two articles from BYC people about assisted hatching. Both are useful in different ways.

I’m gonna wait until I see others start pipping that are in the batch. Then I feel like I can get a good understanding about what’s happening in there.
