8 hrs not much action but I know not to touch the eggs. I also know not to worry.

Put my two little frizzle eggs into lockdown yesterday and there is a pip this morning! So excited and nervous as a first time hatcher. I think I've checked them 1168 times so far today haha

that time from pip to zip feels like forever!! It never seems to get old at least for me! I am in the same spot with quail eggs right now. It has been about 9.5 hrs since I saw the first pip but it could have pipped up to 7 hrs before I saw it..... ho hummmm haahaa.

Congrats!

I’m curious about the purpose of the yarn. Is that to prevent rolling?

I candled eggs tonight and they are drawn down. Getting so close!

My little chick is doing ok. Toes and one nostril is bruised, and a peck wound to the flank, but chick is alive at least and currently resting in incubator. I named him/her “Chance”.

Definitely feels like forever and it's only been 5 hours. Hope your hatch goes well and I'll keep an eye out for photos

It is not yarn it is cord rope, and yes it is so they don't get kicked around.

One egg is hatched 12hrs from first pip...

Hatched from the blue egg.

The other feed store egg hatched...brown and the blue out.

Some of the tan LO mix eggs are due tomorrow.

no quail babies here. Going a bit nuts! Noticed the first pip about 16 hrs ago!!! it could have happened before that but I wasn't home. I hate this part since my brain goes to that they are all DIS and that is why they aren't doing anything. I sure hope they hatch soon!
