Can you see them at the orig link here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...learn-chat-meet-new-friends/970#post_16081190

Hmmm no, still getting the sign in prompt :-/

Not me! Try ebay
be patient and stop opening your incubator! Its called "lockdown" for a reason!

if it makes you feel any better, my first hatch and the lone egg I finished for my neighbors hatch, I did not see any internal pips and had hatching on day 21, 22, &23! So just be patient and go hiking outside or something!

I know. I'm normally so good on lockdown! I'm used to having hatches starting on Day 19, so getting to midday Day 21 unnerved me a little! I'm still holding out hope - maybe they're just a lil lazy and don't want to come out into British winter! lol

Hi iPik! Are those Sarahs little silkie eggs? If so, can't wait to see what you get. I am hoping I can get some from her to hatch for the NYE HAL...like I said earlier. Crossing fingers. Now that you are on here, you will see how crazy I can get on my feel good days. Granny at her best! And folks are like, did she really just say that?!? But wait until you meet Sally Sunshine, fun fun lady bug..and very knowledgeable!

Haha! Yep, those are from Sarah's girls! Can't wait to see what colors come out of them! Maybe, just maybe, I'll finally get a splash! all the chicks I've hatched and I've yet to get a splash anything. Lol.

Oh my goodness that chick is adorable! Love it! My daughter is 13. She definitely has the chicken bug! We just started chickens this spring. Said we'd get 3 or 4 but you know how that goes. We have quite a mix now.

Hey, we're only a couple of hours away from each other!
Sounds like I'm a little older than you though. I was just out of high school when "say you say me" came out.

Well howdy, neighbor! I read your byc interview a few days ago- what a wonderful place you have WV has some beautiful country and some very nice folks too!
My husband hails from WV so I guess I'm partial ;-) lol.

If it's any consolation, I'm in my 40's with 4 kids toddler through teen so I feel a lot older some days lol!

I am having trouble at lockdown. I think my humidity has been to low during incubation (25% I am hatching Marans). Next hatch I am bumping up the humidity to 35%-40% during the first 18 days. Humidity is between 60%-70% at lockdown. Last hatch I lost one that pipped and quit. Now I have another that pipped on day 20 and is still breathing but making no progress and today is day 22. I have 5 hatched, this one and three that are not showing any signs of movement or pips. Should I help the one when I grab out the 5 that hatched yesterday? I have not opened the incubator yet and temps and humidity have been stable.

can you take a pic through and let us see your air cells? add a damp rag to up humidity

On the three that are not pipped yet?

I have a large sponge under the vent and add water through a funnel when humidity drops to around 60%
