January Hatch-a-long 2018

Today is day 19 or 20 I don't know, I lost track but haven't heard any peeps from under the broody. It's going to be a very staggered hatch as she collected eggs at different times so I don't know what to do!! Help anyone?

I think to be safe never count the first day, poor Scott and I have been waiting for our chicks to hatch, first one just did day 22 (2 hrs in) if I didn't count first day I would not be late.

Don't help, but if you do say on day 22, leave the bottom shell on their butt, then the chick can get strong by kicking it off. Also if they have more to absorb then they can stay in longer.

Mostly when I look at my eggs I look for pips, and I have seen chicks make their pip wiggle, but I just saw a non-pipped egg wiggle, it was so cute!

Calling this one "Pim"

If a mom is on the eggs all should be fine
