INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Ok- deep breaths... First hatch here, people... I think it's an internal pip (a crack that's not quite through, right?)... Well, now there are four. The first I noticed might ALMOST be through...

Then there's one which has one of the top two WORST AC situations, pipping...

Looks like pips to me! Congrats

Iodine for the unborn chicks or the little one?

Chicks- I've been sending AC progress on a few of the disastrous shipped eggs, all along. She said she felt confident, I'm sure given I have NO clue what I'm doing, I'd get hit with every emergency there is... For someone who doesn't know me, she has my life pretty well pegged! Lol

It's like Christmas! My eggs arrived! I'm pretty excited. They're resting and I'll candle tonight to check air cells.

Hope they're cream brabanters...

Those are external pips. An internal pip is when the chick pips through the air cell.
THE EXTERNAL PIP
The external pip or crack will appear on the 20th Day on the outer shell. AFTER the embryo internally pipped the air sac and became a chick and breathed in air by piercing the air cell, it will rest again which could be up to an 24 hour gap before the final less that hour ZIP/ZIPPING to hatch out of the shell.

Mornin', Mr. Phil
Recovered from yesterday yet?

yesterday was the easy day....it's was the days before that were beating me down.....we only worked at it a couple hours each day. But I'm beat up and my friend is 70 so I think we did okay pulling the motor.

Oh good God... See?!?

I think some of us keep our noses glued to the bator window, then there are the others that like to walk away and just let it happen. I like to think I'm somewhere in the middle
