5 pips now. One was also underneath but still near the aircell end so hadn't noticed the pip. Hoping other 3 pip tonight and they might start zipping tomorrow. But I've heard that can take up to 48 hours itself.
That’s great news! Glad that the one that is having some problems has a bigger crack now. I expect them to be out by Saturday, possibly late tomorrow.5 pips now.

The one that pipped the wrong end has a much larger crack in it. So at least it can get more air for now.
That is great news, congrats! It’s so cute! All of them should be out by late Saturday or early Sunday morning!
7/8 hatched. However it was very assisted hatch. 2 aren't doing so well but survived the night. So I'll get some vitamins into them today somehow. They are weak and have gunky eyes. Any tips? I'm actually surprised to see them alive thus morning. 3 eggs under my hen all died. So I guess they all struggled. Most Stressful hatch ever.
I’m sorry that it was such a stressful hatch. It’s a good result though 7/8! For the 2 weak ones, I suggest you just give them vitamins and keep an eye on them, it’s all you can do for them, they may pass away due to hatching difficulties (is it the one that pipped the wrong end) or they may live but grow a bit slower.
Im not sure we have those products here in Australia. On my way to pet supplies. I was going to use poultry vitamins (see pic) . Plus I thought saline or salt water for eyes. Hmm
