For me, 5 pips and one died in the danged carton method. He/she pipped halfway down on the shell and drown. URGH!!!! They are all laying down on the side now on the floor of the bator. Waiting and waiting and waiting.
will someone please tell all my hatched chicks to get off the eggs in the carton they are trying to hatch. All the hatched ones are on top of the carton laying on the other eggs. And I was stupid enough to think that putting them in a carton would stop their mischief
What happens if they pip..at both ends? I have one that literally has a pip at each end. The first pip was at the small end, the second is at the big. And it doesn't help that chickie #2 is curled around this egg!
