New Hatches Due May 6th, 12th, 17th. Anyone else?

Well, my feet already hurt from standing in front of the incubator staring in the lil windows. I think I've got a sore shoulder from holding the flashlight too!....lol The eggs are all wiggling. No pips, just a bunch of wiggling going on. My temp and humidity have been super steady! Just playing the waiting game!!

First two pips!]

Just at the start of day 20 at 4PM today.

1st pip, BWA X Salmon Faverolle. Tiny egg, but it's a chirping in there.

2nd pip not 20 minutes later, a beautiful BLUE egg from Peachick.

WAHOO!
 
When I got up this morning I have 3 pips and I can hear peeping. Won't be long now, today is day 20.Can't wait to see what the hatch rate is since this is my first time.I have the flashlight handy too looking in to see what is going on just like you cluttered county.I have a little black silkie that just went broody so I put some eggs under her, she has another week to go. My computer is right next to the table with the incubator and someone is really peeping up a storm right now.

I want to hear some chirping too! I have been watching my eggs and they aren't wiggling as much. I know I hear pecking. I just wish time went by a lil faster! It's driving me nuts!

I have babies: When I just got back from town there were four chicks hatched already and another just broke out of his shell. Most of the rest of the eggs have started pipping too. Starting to get really exciting here. With 5 hatched that means there are still 31 left to go. So far we have 1 RIR, 3 Sussex cross, 1 BO. The ones that have hatched are rolling all the other eggs around in the bator maybe it will help them to get with the program. Need to go get the brooder ready. Good luck everybody.

I set my eggs on April 2nd, so I'm a day later than everyone else. Today, I go into lock down. I have 24 French black copper marans. This is my third hatch. I'm using a Brinsea Octagon Eco incubator.
