Hatching is always nerve wracking

This is our 5th hatch. I thought with each batch it would get a little less stressful. BOY was I wrong. I wake all night long during lockdown after we start seeing pips. I worry about each little baby inside the egg and wonder, what color, what size, is it healthy and will it make it out on it's own. I have had to assist a couple and they are thriving but it certainly hasn't gotten any less nerve wracking.
We have 7 eggs in, two hatched, three with pips and two with nothing. I know I need to give them until day 26. Today is day 22 and I just want to see them all hatch finally so I can see each sweet little face. We hatch mostly silkies but we have a couple mixed in there too right now.

We are up to four. One is working it's way out, then two more to go.
