@TwoCrows Meet your baby! I walked in this morning and there they were! I assume by some bits of dried fluff they hatched around 3-4 am
It's totally normal for loose chicks to jumble around the eggs. Notice in this post what @gimmie birdies does, she uses these ropes to keep the eggs in place... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-egg-spin-the-wheel.1600093/post-27220586Lucky moved the eggs around. Thales is sideways and Dolly is on the other side now. Tulip is sideways too. Are they going to be fine?
I have been sitting here staring for over 45 minutes. I am about to have to get up though. Got 3 human babies that need to go to school and then I have to go do grocery shopping! I hope to see so much more progress this afternoon!!I'd be glued to the incubator if I was there![]()
Congrats on your first baby hatch!! It is pretty amazing, isn't it?!Just watched Pelican make a bigger hole.

I should've done something like that. Only one concerning is Tulip as the pip is where I cant see. I don't want to open the incubator and jinx the other pipped chicks so I will wait to see what happens.Welcome to the world Lucky!!!

Yes! Lucky is so adorable and keeps bumbling around. Then you have other eggs pipping left and right! Lucky is just lucky I can't get in there and snuggle them!Congrats on your first baby hatch!! It is pretty amazing, isn't it?!
Don't open the lid, the pipped eggs will be ok, I promise.I should've done something like that. Only one concerning is Tulip as the pip is where I cant see. I don't want to open the incubator and jinx the other pipped chicks so I will wait to see what happens.
Did you see yours pipped too?

I agree with @TwoCrows. The pipped eggs will be okay. Chicks always run around and bump into eggs and shift them.Don't open the lid, the pipped eggs will be ok, I promise.
