Good morning everyone! Happy Boxing day! I hear chirping louder than the fan!!! Still no pipping, but I know they are alive!
Can everyone remember their very first hatch? Is it always this scary? Or does it get easier?

Can't remember the 1st; it was 30 years ago; only been one since, though. I hear it gets easier, for some of us, anyway.

If you see big veins, then the chicks are not ready to hatch just yet. They will absorb the yolk, pull the blood out of the veins, and only then will they try to hatch out. If you're leaving to go away for a week, you should either turn off the incubator and toss the eggs in the woods for the critters to eat, or find someone who can look after any chicks that might possibly have survived. After that, you should take a nice long break from incubating eggs, and perhaps try again in the spring or summer. You're making too many mistakes, and worrying far too much to be trying to hatch eggs right now. I think you... and when I say you, I mean we... need a break. Have a safe trip, CH.
Howdy, whites!
