More by the minute. Here's another external pip away from the air cell. If you look carefully, there's a little red tinge (blood presumably) on some of the crack seams. Another of that pullet's eggs. (I had wondered if this would be a problem.)


Lots of peeping - I can hear them two rooms away if I listen carefully...

OK, now there are 11 or 12 pipped that I can tell - it's awfully hard to see when they pip on the underside! There's some peeping, but I can't actually tell who it is, and unfortunately, I've been at work since 7:30am, so no idea how long. Here's a photo of one that is pipping away from the air cell (the upper one). Interestingly, all of this pullet's eggs are larger and somewhat rounder than the others - they also uniformly had less draw down from my last candle on day 18, so their air cells look small. Should I increase humidity at this point? (say to 70 or 75%)? (Do I understand correctly that tomorrow, day 21, I should drop to 97.5F?) I understand from the assisted hatching article to wait at least 18-24 hours before considering doing anything. Alas, for a number of these I can't see the pip easily - just the bits of shell that have fallen indicating a pip is there. Rereading that info now... I have to work all day tomorrow (no other option), so any assistance I provide will probably be no sooner than 4pm tomorrow anyhow. Tomorrow is day 21. Horrible timing of the hatch plus work. And I'm so tired right now.... - Ant Farm
