Very nice hatch! Congratulations!My hatch is finished finally (I think). Ended up with 30 chicks. Set 33 eggs total, pulled one on day 7, one looked like a quitter on day 18 that I left in just in case(green one) which did not develop any further, and one that looks like it failed to make the internal pip which I've had problems with that specific hen's eggs before (I think they're just too big). So the end result is 30/33 total which is definitely my best hatch to date @ about 91%! Super exciting! Well here they are:

Sounds like you are headed to a great hatch!I put 290 eggs into lockdown Tues evening and the first one was out last night, had about 20 out (and one turkey poult) when I left for work this morning. I have been sneaking my hand in to remove egg shells and try to move the eggs so they aren't stacked in a way that a pipped egg is under another one.
I expected a few less to make it to lockdown when I initially loaded these into the incubators. I guess that is a good thing, but now I REALLY need to work on a new hatcher. I have some boards cut and sanded, need to paint them next. It's do much easier to paint them in the garage when the temps are warm enough.
What?Guess what

I just got angry with myself. I should have cracked the egg in such a way as to have kept the shell intact; I'll be making Romanian impistrite this Easter and it would have been an AMAZING egg to work with!
. I kinda figured it was but I'm a nervous wreck! Lol. I have another pip now and have been hearing lots of chirps.You're welcome!![]()
Good Morning!

Yes, this is normal. Hatching takes time and patience.
