We only have one as well. It almost had a friend but it died halfway through zipping. Somehow it rolled over and I wasn't home to help it. One more egg is peeping away in the incubator. Really hoping it makes it. I guess if we only have one they will be really really tame lol.

I would worry at this point. Have you ever pipped an egg before? Once you do, you have to find where the beak has pecked out, to clear the little nostrils of any membrane, that's if it's alive. Then I let them sit for an hr. to have had the rest and air. If you need help in how to help a chick out..there are many places to go watch on youtube. If you need me to find one..I can, but I'm thinking, pip the large end, listen, and if you hear anything, find that little beak. You can't just let it sit once you've pipped it, it will more than likely shrink wrap and need help out. I'll look for something on here that explains it better than myself.

Ok, found out there is a great sticky in the incubating and hatching posts. A sticky, in case you don't know..is the very top/first post in that thread of posts..right at the top of incubating and hatching eggs..a lot of info there. Some agree to help..some don't, and there is a long post of how to, if you decided to. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. But I found out sadly this morning that two of the eggs had pipped on the bottom and didnt make it out in time and suffocated....
