Is Anyone Hatching on March 13th??

I am too... 10 Welsummer, 8 Blk Ameracauna, 2 Barnevelder, 2 Lav Orps, 3 Olive eggers. I hope I am hatching the 13th. This is my first incubator hatch. We'll see. Lockdown yesterday... Best wishes to all.
 
I have mine going into lockdown today...Bantam BBS Orps, Project Bantams, Lavander Orps...

Quick little ones!

Yep, I actually had five yesterday and that was day twenty. Things should really start popping today. :-)
 
We locked down last night at midnight and candled. Out of 23 eggs in the bator, 1 of the barnies looks like it may be a little behind, and two of the BCMs are just plain old too dark to see into, but 20 are 100% good to go with chicks inside... whether or not they survive hatching remains to be seen! We also had a bator failure 36 hours into incubation and had to scramble to get another bator (thank you, Linda, you're a goddess, you know). Otherwise, we would have gone into lockdown early yesterday morning, or if we re-started from scratch after the incubator failed, lockdown would have happened this afternoon--we split the difference and locked down last night at midnight since I don't think any of the eggs were compromised & they had already been in there for a day and a half.

Our last hatch, we only got 4 out of 11, and only 2 of those survived. We are using a different incubator this time and hoping for a better hatch rate.
 
i had a second egg that had pipped when i went home at lunch.

no progress on pip number one.

does anyone know about how long it takes from pip to hatch?

it's my first time.
