Mine have pipped but not all have broken through the membrane. I hope they are all ok. I can't wait to see them.

Day 18 for me is on Thursday. I have about 40 eggs that are fertile and developing. Hopefully they'll all hatch!

So far ten little chicks have hatched - six more eggs are pipped. I have not opened the incubator yet to remove the babies. As long as I see new eggs cracking I suppose I should leave them alone. What do the rest of you do?

My humidity is 75% and I have both red plugs removed from the top of the incubator. All of the chicks have hatched trouble free so far.

I am also wondering about the frizzle gene. When will I notice a change in the feathers if there is one? Also I am not seeing any crests. Do these take a few days to develop or should they be noticeable as soon as they hatch?

Thanks!

We are hatchin em out today! Seven have hatched in the bator with one more pipped.

I checked on our brooder hen and this is what I saw peaking out from under her wing...

Go chickies

Update: The chick under the hen is a WCB Polish chick!

I looked all over for this thread and couldn't find it to post my hatching results. Just FOUND it today.

My chicks hatched out last Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. Friday was day 21, so some were a bit early.
Of the 30 eggs that were shipped 7 came to me broken (these things happen) so I had 23 of Joni's to start and I added 5 of my hen's eggs and 8 I got from "roosty". 14 of Joni's 23, 3 of my 5 and 5 of roosty's 8 had hatched by Friday 4/24. I left the others in the bator so they could have a chance to hatch if they were able.
Wednesday afternoon I found a blue egg pipping... It was a DUCK!!! So now we have 15/23 and 23 babies in all. That ain't too bad for shipped eggs!

congrats. I wonder what type of duckling? AND Is this your first duck?
