March 21 or so hatching

Ok, I finally went out and disturbed my broody. There is peeping and one definite pip in the dark brown egg that is at 4 o'clock. It's in the top right. Surprisingly, I also now know that she has been stealing eggs! Only 7 of those are fertilized - the other 4 are from my girls (we don't have a rooster). I'm pretty sure the 4 stolen ones are the small, light brown ones.
Question is, at this point, do I just leave them there? My markings on the fertilized eggs came off (I used a crayon) so I don't know for sure which ones are which other than by size.

Very excited to have 2 hatching simulanteously - one in the coop and one in the incubator!

Awww, she wanted to be a mom real bad! I would just leave them for now. Pretty soon she be off of them and you can take them then. At least wait until the ones hatch of they're going to.

I have a question. I have 2 eggs left to hatch. One I know has pipped but has been knocked upside down by other chicks should I open incubator and up it right side up.

 

[Aacre]

Bridget, it should be OK. It would do more harm to open the incubator than to leave it the way it was knocked over.

Okie dokie...I set 8 eggs the afternoon of the 1st, so have been counting the second as day one. In that case today is the 18th. With candling all 8 are viable. They went into lockdown this morning. This afternoon I already have one pip, and the same egg is rocking every now and then. Yay! But, I'm worried bc it is only day 18!!! I have a Brinsea 20. The temps have been a steady 99.5-100*. Should I be concerned? Nothing to do about it anyway!! Just waiting and watching. Amazing how exciting it is.

Hatched at 5:45 and is seemingly stuck on its back. Leave alone or go in s turn it onto its belly. It's chirping away and flopping around, then sleeps.

Mine went into lock down this morning. 8 out of 9 went in. I can only see movement in 2 of the 8, but those brown eggs are just so hard to see through! Air sacs look good at least. Here's hopin!

I guess we are right there together. Good luck with your hatch.

How is the chick now? I have had some in similar situations and they worked it out themselves.

I think they will do fine. I have some dark eggs hatching and couldn't see into them. But they are hatching out fine.
