Thank you! 1 week to go! I've gotten my humidity down. Air cells are looking better. I think I'm going to stop turning tomorrow. I keep reading about everyone getting malpostitioned chicks! What do you think? How are your 2 chicks doing?
Egg cells slant good but no signs of movement

Keep turning thru day 25...I'm sure all will go well!
My two hatched Peachicks are doing great!
I still have egg 7 and believe internally pipped but not externally ... Hate when you don't have a due date as it makes it hard on guessing what to do so just watching air sack and his shadows inside.... I'm not hearing anything but seeing that shadow movement so hoping he will make it!....

Once you have hatched them for a couple years you will get good at telling how far along they are, i have been able to tell how far along eggs are within a 1 to 2 days when i find a nest with a sitting peahen that is in a not so safe area and had to remove the eggs.

They are beautiful! Thank goodness you have 2. With any hatch I'm always happy with anything 2+. I just never want a lone chick! I picked up a feathered boa at the dollar store yesterday because I read on one of these posts that the chicks like to cry a lot and a boa could help. Also, I have one quitter that I'm going to open today and see how far it got. I'm going to use the quitter as practice for assisting! I know, I'm crazy!

Not crazy, smart! Just like having a well stocked med kit.

Thank you all as I too think they are beautiful! Yes I have 2, 2 week old purples and 2, 2 week old cameos but these are from my babies!! Just making them a bit more special if that's possible...
Last egg in bator is working to get out.. I listened and could hear it's little pecking noises.... Fingers crossed!
I think it's a good idea to practice on that quitter egg... Not crazy at all!
And I guess in time and more experience I too will get better at gauging the age so to speak of an egg but when the air cell starts changing seems to work for my gauge meter so far...
Thanks for yalls support and will let ya know how or if or when this last chick graces us with its appearance! Maybe next 24 hours or so???

Well egg 7 hatched during the night! Still has some shell attached but yolk is absorbed so hope he will shed that she'll piece soon and he continues to thrive! Yippee !!
Congrats on the last hatcher! How's he/she doing?

He seems ok but hasn't shed all of shell but it's just a matter of time... just hanging on by a thread so to speak.
So the shell is stuck to him? Was he sticky when he hatched? Is he drinking yet? I'm pulling for the little guy! I hope he makes it. Can I ask you something? I'll post a pic of my air cells, can you tell me how they look? I candled on days 7,14, & 21. Thank you!!
