Be patient...I've had them pip and it took another day for them to hatch. (look at me telling someone to be patient when I just put 17 blue rock eggs from Halo in the hatcher!) I thought if I told someone else to be patient, I could convince myself to be the same! (yeah right!)

OK My Patience is running out... I have to be to work at in like 5 hours... Come on babies... I am worried, it has been almost 24 hours on the first pip and no more progress... Should I call a chicken OB, I knew a home birth was a bad idea!!!!

I'm going to call this "Watched Pot Syndrome". We all have it. It can only be treated by the sight of the last chick thriving! And is highly contagious!

And a watched pot never boils. Proof - I had three ready to hatch yesterday. I checked on them at 10am - no progress. I had to go to the feed store because I have some hens that aren't doing well. Was back by 11:15. And wouldn't ya know it. hatched! Maybe it's all Murphy's falt (Murphy's Law)

Hang in there!
