Hands on hatching and help

[RebekahTN]

Mine were moving their around but no pip or peep until day 23. Did you candle them for movement before lockdown?

Congrats with ur chicks so cute

I hope mine hatch

The waiting is the hardest part! Although with a broody doing all the work I was less emotionally invested somehow and it was less torturous for me. She 's a good mom too.

It's day 21 My eggs haven't moved pipped or peeped

If they haven't pipped yet you can take one and tap on it. Of its internally pipped you can hear it pecking inside. Then just place it back in the incubator on a warm damp paper towel.

My other one I have been waiting to enlarge it's shell like the last one did, just started zipping!!!! The first spent almost 12 hours enlarging it's pip hole. This one piped a new hole and took off zipping within an hour. I thought we were going to be in for a long night. 19 year old son and hubby are just don't understand the excitement me and the 5 year old have in our hearts right now!!!
