Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

[Pugsabi]

They are moving around and I’ve seen pecking! It’s hard to get a good photo. Im worried if I wait till the morning it might be too late

You say that like you think you'll be able to sleep tonight! $10 says you'll be dozing with one eye open!

I found that the easiest thing for me to use to make whole was a corn on the cob holder thing because the handle helped me keep it steady.
I tried a nail, screw and a push pin.

does anyone like this group?

Loved them!!!

I use the tip of a sterilized pocket knife, and just lightly tap at one spot until enough shell chips away to pin-hole the membrane. About 1/16th of an inch hole.

This is day 20, right? It may just be too soon for them. Have all the others pipped, and have any hatched?

Patience .... 2x Zinjifrah, think this is day 20

How are the other egg babies from this hatch doing? External pip from them yet?

I think I’m going to use this thing that came with a watch. It will leave a tiny hole. I’ve used it before I’m just nervous cause it’s twins. I will put coconut oil on it as well after I do so. They seem to be doing fine so far so I am going to wait just in case. I have one trying to zip I believe and 5 pipped.

I wouldn't put the oil just yet.
Do the hole then wait.

Better safe than sorry, when you're just putting a safety hole in. I certainly would not peel any shell back yet, if it were my choice! Just make sure they can breathe.
