Hatching Updates for this weekend, MORE PICS!!!

[msbliss]

I'vegot chirping!!

One of the chicks must've gotten through the membrane & is in the airpocket!!

None of the eggs are moving tho so I don't know which one! Wonder if it'll start pipping soon?? Dang, no way can I go to sleep now!!

I am at the end of day 19 as well and all we have are wobbly eggs and one more then the others.
It never has stopped! Hahaha!
I hope you all have a good hatch and I hope too!
I dont like worring about them. I am such a chicken mom and DH thinks I am crazy. Thank god the kids think I am sane!
Good luck to everyone!

Tsagirl, yeah..my DH thinks I've lost my mind too. My kids are the only ones who understand..I SO need you all for support!

How's it going for everyone? Donald, how are Betty & the babies doing? Any action in the incubator yet??

Early this morning I had 1 buff orp pipped - now she's active as crazy trying to zip all the way.

I have 3 others pipped - and nothing happening (yet!) with the other 20...but as of 10am today it's only day 20 anyway...guess just a few are anxious to stretch their legs!! Hope all's going well for all you other weekend hatchers!!

Betty was still happily hanging with her five chicks this morning when I left for work. I was getting worried this morning with no action in the incubator, but right before I left for work I saw one of the eggs pipping. A little bit of shell was popping up and down, presumably with a beak under it pushing it up like a little manhole cover. I did some whistling and the chick peeped back.

Phone calls home today to wife and daughter indicate no more action on the pipped egg, but I have not checked in since a few hours ago. I will be leaving work for the day, soon, I hope. I wanta see some hatching when I get home from work!

WOOHOO, a buff orp baby was born 20 mins ago!!

flopping around the incubator like a spaz! none others close, but 5 other eggs pipped

such a cool thing to watch,from nothing to a chickie in 21 days WOW,just too cool

 

[msbliss]

yes it is very cool and amazing to watch! This is my first hatch ever and what an experience!

I now have 2 buff orpingtons, the 2nd born at 4:25...so fast I was amazed. 9 others pipped but with 2 1/2 hrs sleep last night (stared at the first pip for 4 hours!! It really wasn't doing anything, I just didn't want to miss if it did...then waited for "one last" peep from it several times too!) it's time for a nap & hopefully the chicks will take a break too!

I had the one pipped this morning and I think it is trying to zip now. A second egg was pipped when I got home from work tonight at about 6 p.m. Both eggs are wobbling like crazy. They want out!

I have to drive daughter out to a Christmas dance that starts at 8p.m. I hope I make it back before that first one hatches out. I think I will stay up tonight and see what happens on the rest of the eggs.

Congrats! to flying_squirrel on the buff orps.
