. Of the 22 eggs I set 20 went into lockdown with 2 I wasn't sure about. In the end 10 pipped, 8 hatched with no problems. The very first egg to pip, got a hole about 2cm by 2cm, and then didn't progress. I was getting close to helping it out, but then got called into work. I thought it should be ok until I got home. Unfortunately when I got home the little guy had died. the last egg to pip had also had no progress and this time I didn't want to wait too long. I spent from 10pm last night till 6am this morning when we finally hatched making sure there was no bleeding and keeping it warm and humid. The poor little guy was exhausted and would not have made it out if I hadn't helped...it was well and truly stuck! Still in the incubator resting, and seems a little better, but will just have to wait and see

Helping the little guy out - you can see how tired the little guy is
Mine are supposed to hatch today! But i have not seen anything! I am starting to get a little worried! But everybody says that sometimes it can take a few extra days! I will just have to be patient!!! bUT I LOVE MY LITTLE CHICKS!1
