Awesome - leader of the bunch!!

I'm still waiting .... day 22, I will have to confess I lifted the broody last night to see if there was anything happening, no pips, but candled and could see at least one pipped internally. Keep listening when I go out but nothing yet....

Any progress @cppeace

 

[cppeace]

I see one zipping and can hear a second lightly answering it's loud peeps, so definitely have progress

Awesome - my incubator ones seem to be stuck, i wonder if they are DIS
But I hear cheeps and tapping under my broody

 

[plum14]

I would have put them all under my broody but daugher (age 5) wanted some as pets inside.

Hmm Once you get to day 23 I'd pull a couple out to candle real quick to see if you see anything. If no pips, they won't be changed in temp or humid long enough to do any major harm.

So the zipping one is loudly peeping, but pretty sure I hear 2 lighter peeps as well. All but two in there had good movement when I did last candle at day 17 night. I removed from cartons and laid them flat and slowly raised humidity throughout day 18. Hoping most will hatch for me, at least for the Bresse/Breese.

@Tatuana I'm sorry about your eggs. Did they travel far?

Congrats to those who have eggs pipping and hatching. I have two pips myself, day 21 here. I've been stressing about these eggs since I had some temp issues when I transferred them to the hatcher. Unfortunately, they're both pipped at the wrong end of the eggs. I had this happen last time too and everything turned out fine. However, you can see that this one may be needing some help. It's only been a bit over 12 hours so I'm not intervening yet, just watching.

hmm odd how sometimes they do that and not drown. Good luck hon.

Had 2 pipping this morning when I left for work. Didn't expect to see any till tonight but very excited to see what I have when I get home. I feel like a Kid on Christmas.
