MGG's Hatching Thread!

Pics
Thanks! Are eggs supposed to make one crack, take a huge nap (I could tell she was asleep because she didn't chirp), wake up, and then not touch the crack? It's been hours, and she's done nothing to her initial crack, but she's been chirping the whole time.
Yeah mine waited like 12 hours before they started zipping. One even longer but I cant be sure how long because it started zipping sometime overnight. I just know it pipped in the morning when I went out there (7:30 or so), then I checked on them at 8:00, and there she was in the morning! But anyways, nothing to worry about.
 
My hen taking care of her chicks broke her toe :hit. I was away for a few days with a farm sitter. As the pilot said to turn on airplane mode I got a text saying my dogs had gotten out and somehow broke her toe. Nothing else, just the toe, so thats really lucky I guess. But I have her inside now in a little laundry basket. Apparently she is very well potty trained. I let her out like every few hours, she goes within like 30 seconds, then I put her back. She won't eat, drink, or sleep without a chick so I gave her one to take care of still. She seems alright though. Still a bit shaken up from the whole thing. But its a shame I have to separate those chicks. They were very happy being free range all the time.
 
Wonder if anyone could help me. I went on a thread and haven't seen any answers back. So I am wondering if anybody can give me advice my dad's still air incubator with the quail eggs this morning two of the eggs exploded. There supposed to go into lockdown today. Anything can be done or is it a lost cause.
