Unl 4H has a super video that they use for the 4th graders embrology class here. They candle eggs and talk you through it.

Have all 4 eggs still alive and moving in their shells. Lock down is at 4pm today and will up humidity. Air cells are a little small for my liking, but will have to do.

Chicks are hatching. So far there are 12 to 14. Don't know exact count I just did a quick look count.

I have two pips so far since this morning and no further progress. It's only day 19 though. It's nerve wracking. I hope everything is OK. I see wiggling and hear chirping.

Last check was up to 19 hatched. Not checking anymore tonight I'll give them a quick check in the morning before leaving for work.

Today is day 15 and two eggs definitely quit as the veins are now gone and they kinda slosh around when I turn them. I'm now down to two eggs I hope they both make it.

The wigglers still have not pipped. Getting worried

What day are you on? Mine wiggle like day 18 then rest for half a day then pip then rest another half a day. It's really testing my patience but one chick out!

Remember, eggs hatch at day 21, ideally...

They are on day 21 they have been wiggling for almost two days. No pips hoping they pip soon.
