Not going very well here. Today is day 21 for me. I have a Brinsea and I have noticed that Lg's and other types seem to hatch out earlier than mine. However...I had a "pip" this morning at 5:30am and it is AT THE WRONG END! This is my second hatch...ever...and I really do not want to extract it and am hoping it will still manage to get out. It is cheeping...has made the hole a "tad" bigger since this morning but really not much progress. One other egg has pipped at the CORRECT end...around 9am and so far...it hasn't done much either. I have 15 B/B/S Orps in their. I know they have developed but should have paid closer attention to the air sac. (next time!) So...maybe I'll get some hatched...maybe not. I will be sick with disappointment if they don't but I read it all the time. Keeping my fingers crossed and going crazy in this wait it out period!
PS...I posted the pip early this morning but was so excited I didn't notice then that it was in the wrong place!

Not yet, it is actually due Saturday. My silkies were two days ahead of the barnyard mixes and I don't have any pips on the barnyard mix eggs yet. I have that one laid out to where the air sac is pointing upwards. I sure hope it works out.
Sorry your hatch is not going too well. Hopefully you will start getting alot of pips soon. I had 6 silkie eggs and only 3 are out so far - all black! I ordered from somone who had white, blue, grey, partidge, and black in the pen together but all mine so far are black. I am just happy to see healthy 5 toed babies.
Man! I missed it. That little stink was still only a pip, looked like it was starting to zip about and hr. and a half ago, and zip it did..then I just heard a peep like I've heard before. A very nice looking EE is out. Yellow with the dark on the head and some on the little wing tips. Nice sized baby.
