I'm watching your cam... do you have a pip in one of your eggs, its hard to tell?​

Set 15 eggs friday the 5th. Due friday the 26th. Has been a few months and my own orps aren't laying - yet! Daggone free loaders!! - I set orps from a gal in florida I bought off E-bay.

No, external pips yet, but the chick is through the air sac, I hear peeping.

Maybe i'll wake up to a chickie.

I'm really starting to think something is wrong... It's day twenty-two and still not a single pip. I think I've heard peeping, but I'm not 100% on that. I'm really hoping I didn't lose the four, they were growing so perfectly before lockdown and now it seems like they might not be with me.

I don't know why either, everything has gone well. I'm not completely giving up hope yet, but I'm starting to think something went wrong somewhere. Seeing as this will be my third hatch with no babies (the other two hatches were foiled by power outages RIGHT before hatching), it's getting discouraging.

I'm not going to give up, though! I'm still giving them time to come out if they're still alive, and even if they don't make it, I'll continue setting eggs until I get a good hatch.

I hope they are just fashionably late. It's so discouraging when things go wrong for no apparent reason.

Hopefully the 3rd time is a charm for you and they start hatching.

Sending you happy hatching thoughts!

Bravo: First I saw 12, then it was 10. Oh, I give up. They're beautiful!

SilverPhoenix: Incubating can be frustrating, best wishes with those eggs. Please try again though, so you can enjoy the experience. I look forward to seeing that happen for you & will watch for your posts. I keep threatening to get a Silkie hen someday, they just seem to live for hatching.

I've had a lot of my Bantam Favs hatch on Day 22. Good luck with that!

I set my very first eggs yesterday! I am so eggcited!
