I have several bantam chicken eggs that are supposedly a "barnyard mix". I got them online. Their hatch date was yesterday and I can hear them peeping and and tapping on the egg but there are no chips or cracks in the shell. I did hatch some quail yesterday and had to help one out because he had been at it for about 30 hours. The membrane was like leather. But once I tore it a little with a pair of tweezers he slipped out. He's zipping around in the brooder with the other chicks now. I'm worried the bantams might be trapped. How long does it take them to break the shell? Humidity is 66-70%
