First Time Hatching Anyone With Me??

i have a second pip.

no changes in pip one.

this is fun, huh?

With the bloody pip, is there a definte hole out. The reason I ask this is because the bloody pip means it has missed the air sack. This means it needs air. If there is a definite hole out then thats great just leave it be, but the blood might congeal across any hole sealing it up and meaning that the little one cant breath. I had that on my first ever hatch.

Good luck, and what lovely chick pics - hoping to see some more soon!

There is a good sized hole. I think it is open, I cant see it that well . It has been about 24 hours now since I first saw the pip. Should I intervene? I have been hesitant to get a closer look, not wanting to jeopardize the rest of the hatch.

how many others are in there that haven't pipped?

i'd be inclined to let it go for a while longer, especially if there were more than a few others that may have a chance.

I have one more that hasn't piped yet. I figure I will give it at least another 12 hours and then maybe think about doing some helping. Gosh its hard to keep my hands out.

Its just soooo exciting isn't? Careful about staring at the incubator to long, I gave myself a wicked headache yesterday.

It was about 12+ hours. The wait is hard!!! But once they start zipping it seems to go really fast!

how long since your first pip?
