I can't see any pips yet, but I heard a chick peep! Maybe I'll get up and check half-way through the night. I'll guess we'll have one or two by morning!

Not including duds, 16 eggs total have started developing (one bloodring, 15 healthy). After the hatch, how do I turn them into a percentage of 100? 16 is not a multiple of 100. Does this make sense?

Hey @kyeschicks, how is your little chick this morning?

She hatched! Unassisted. I was surprised she didn't get shrink wrapped since I had taken her out of the incubator twice and people say that they'll get shrink wrapped when you do that.

Happy to hear it!

Yay! The suspense is the hardest.
Do you mean, find the percent that hatched? If so, say you had 14 out of 15 hatch, you would divide 14 by 15 = to get .93 x 100 = 93% hatch rate.
sorry if this isn’t what you meant!

Yep, that's it! Thanks for the formula!

I’ve been all over mine. And still no shrink wrapping. Glad to hear they got out!
Turns out I’ve got another one the same way. I pipped the air cell to be sure and looked at the bottom to find broken shell.
Could hear them peeping a storm. Expect they’ll be out in the morning. Just keeping the humidity up in the mean time.

You can also divide 100 by the eggs you had and multiply the number with the hatched chicks. Both ways are correct

Thank you, she's definitely my favorite. Like the way she looks!
