IA (incubators anonymous) September Hatches?

I heard two peeping at the same time, so I have at least one internally pipped, too, yay!

Yes, this is the batch that had the temp spike. My incubator has a fan. There is hope for yours, too!

I don't know about that..... I think mine was 102 degrees AND a bag of chips, for a sustained amount of time too! While yours was fluctuating on and off at 101.9 (barely hitting 102) which isn't the same!!

I still have hope though.

I just checked mine, one of the batams is zipping! Glad I didn't pull them all!!!

Ok, I realized that Day 20 ends tonight, not starts. I got home and heard a peep in the incubator!

My Ameriflower #1 has externally pipped!!!!

I'm jealous that you two seem to have successful hatches.... because if my eggs are all dead and I don't get any hatches, if I'm going down I want to bring you all down with ME!

I think it's going to be a long night, lol. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow! At least I get off at 1pm.

A second egg, the BCM, has pipped! But on the opposite end of the air cell, so I almost missed it. I repositioned it on its side. Do I need to do anything else?

The guide to assisted hatching says not to panic for 30-48 hours, lol. As long as the chick doesn't pip into a vein I don't think it's really an issue. They just take longer from external pip to hatch than normal. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/
