Halloween ~ Hatch Day!

[hatchaholic]

Someone told me that as long as it pips thru and can get air, it may be okay.
Keep us posted...
Good luck.

I had one hatch just this morning that was pipped on the small end, have another one pipped there too, so waiting for that one.

That is good to know at least there is a chance! It's not pipped all the way through the shell but the outer part of the shell is chipped away if that makes any sense. No movement but I did get the humidity up...so that's good.

OK now I am going to go crazy...at least it will be a short trip

Update....I have 2 pipped. They rocking, but haven't zipped yet. My humidity is 61...should I worry?

No, Kelley, don't worry yet. Sounds like you have everything right. It can take a long time for them to come out. My chick is the one with the small pip from yesterday. The one with the big pip and beak sticking out is still not out.

They are just torturing us!! Wouldn't be much fun if they just popped right out. LOL!

Congratulations Kim!

I have a silkie that is rocking but no pip yet. The OE bantie is still trying to pip a bit more & rocking too. That is it for now.

I put the later hatches on the side of the bator, I hope the higher humidity won't hurt them & no turning.

Humidity is ranging between 60 & 67ish....with the vent cap off am loosing humidity! & rather quickly I think.
