ive seen it take 24 hours. give me a minute and ill find a link on helping them out.

 

[loveourbirds]

its best not to help them out, but occasionally you do have to.

a lot of good information for you in this article.

OK , I'm going to read it .....I've not been this nervous is so long lol

 

[loveourbirds]

im so happy you have one hatching, what day is this?

 

[RedneckG1rl]

20 ...tomorrow is 21 ....one is getting ready and I got to moving around a lot . I am ready to see them ! Getting the brooder set up now and checking to make sure the heat is going to be ok in it for the chicks and that it won't be to hot the way I got the lamp positioned

 

[loveourbirds]

did that article answer your questions?

 

[RedneckG1rl]

Yes and I hope to not have to assist ! I have 11 eggs in there right now but I think some of them were over 7 days old when I put them in there and I accidently cracked two of them when I put the new eggs in right before lockdown and some of them fell down I am not counting on those making it .

 

[loveourbirds]

don't give up on them, if the crack is minor, you can melt birthday candle wax over the crack to seal it.

I went to bed last night thinking that it would be a while for the little guy to come out and when I woke up this morning I have one that is hatched and out and one that has made it about half way around it's shell and should be out soon. Nothing from any of the others yet but today is day 21 so they still have some time !
