Lemon-Drops Adopt-an-egg hatch-a-long!

I don’t think so… I carefully candled and marked them all yesterday.

Hmm. I never marked mine. I had some eggs, like yours, that were round all around. So I couldn't tell which was the top/bottom, thus not knowing where it would pip.

Maybe tag someone or make a new thread? I'm afraid I'm of no help

Ok, thanks. It’s fine! I posted on the Easter hatch a long thread, but so far no response.

One of the eggs externally pipped, but ok the wrong end. Is there anything I should do?

Uh oh! If its continuing to hatch as planned than don't worry about it. If it seems like it lagging behind, or struggling, follow this article to assist. Usually they can hatch just fine. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/

Thanks, I read it. It said not to assist until 40 ish hours, though.

Yep, exactly. It can take them a long time. 40 hours sounds about right.

Ugh. Now I have to wait more… luckily I’m setting up a camera so that I can watch while I’m not home tomorrow.

Whose egg is the one pipping on the wrong end? I'm so excited to see little chicks!
