I have a pip!

[kesrchicky16]

I should soooooo be sleeping but tomorrow (well it's after midnight so today) is hatch day and I was laying I bed (yes stupid me putting the incubator in my bedroom) and I heard a peep. 2:00 first external pip! Hopefully peepy little chick by morning.

I didn't really sleep last night... I am on the last two eggs (the other two don't seem to be making noise anymore so I don't have hope for those). It is the last ones ones that are scaring me... today is day 23. My nerves are shot.

Hands are sat. I even got some sleep! Little fuzzy is still tucked in tight. It has pushed the shell more open and is still "peep"ing.

2 pips! No unzipping yet but I'm off to work for a few hours. Hubby is on pip watch.

3rd pip! Uh oh small end, well middle. Egg is more football shaped but the air cell is on the other side.

Did I mention I have 31 eggs? I'll give a summary update when I have a fluffy pic.

One of mine that developed but died in the shell was in a football shaped egg. I did an egg necropsy and it had no air cell what so ever in it. It had not died long before opened it (but it was stiff) but the blood was red enough to tell me that had I gone with my gut and did that sooner, it MAY have lived (or I may have killed it and would feeling pretty crummy right now). It did not die from me assisting. Had it been still alive, it would have bled when I was unhusking the shell. No bleeding....

It has a developed air cell that I marked when I candled at lockdown.
