I never see a pip before late on the 20th day. Most of my pipping occurs on day 21.
After the first pip, it might be another 8 hours before something actually hatches. . ..
A lot of times the first chick to hatch is not the first one to pip

I found out last night that one that had not even pip that I saw was hatched an the first one to pip did not hatch for 24 hours later, and was the last one so far. I am now waiting for more pips and hatches

Congrats to all of you with your PIPS!! I don't know if I'm happy this is my last hatch this spring...or will be a little "down"!

It is sort of "addicting"! I think it will nice to be stress free again.

Aww man! my chicks are almost all hatched out and I just realised, we don't have any chick feed !!!

What do I do ????

Don't worry about it. Right before the eggs hatch the chicks absorb all the left over yolk. They can go a couple of days without feed without any problems.

I was looking at them just a few minutes ago and they look cold. they keep shivering. is that normal? it's not cold in there
