I have a pip day 19 or 20 depending on if you count the first day have 4 total in there. Really thought none of the Marans would make it and only one of the White Red Laced Cornish that I really wanted so I'm really hoping that one comes out to play.

haTHOR- Great pictures too cute!! Go chickies go!!

As for me i can't believe it but I have a chick!!! Its day 19!! Not sure when it pipped, but I checked my eggs about 10:15 tonight and it started zipping and didn't quit, fast little booger. Hatched about 15 minutes later, Hooray!!

No more pips as far as I can see from my other 35 eggs.

Now I know I won't sleep all night!
 
i now have 8 babes, and all but 8 of the others are pipped. one i am worried is dead...the hole got BIG early this morning, like 9 am, and there is no movement now in several hours...can see part of the bird through the pip.

this is pandemonium! how the heck does anyone EVER go to sleep in the middle of a crazy hatch out with only a quarter out and in the clear?

one hatched chick had a really yolky egg and seems slimy and sticky. it is having trouble staying up on its feet. should i leave him alone, mist him in a steamy room, anything?

Sleep? I've forgotten what that is! I'm just a few hours into day 20 and just happened by the bator on my way to bed and I hear "Peep!"..so I look and a pip! A real honest-to-goodness pip.

I didn't think it would actually happen!

I guess the bantams DO hatch earlier? I am so excited!

Best of luck to you haThor and everyone else along for this crazy ride!

I am always amazed at all the little things you learn on here...I see thermometers on the wire...instead of the top of the eggs...wondered if my little boogers would break mine...hmmm...guess I'll find out in a day or so.........

I swear sometimes they wait on purpose until we give up to start zipping.

Actually I think the timing is just perfect! This means I can take them all out and into the brooder tonight!!! And it's only day 22!
