new to hatching

[msDeP]

I am on day 21 with two eggs and day 22 with one. I have been trying to hatch my own americaunas before eggs that I have ordered arrive. In one of the day 21 eggs it has been wiggling for about 24 hours but hasn't pipped yet. The other day 21 eggs is quiet and so is the day 22 egg. I had an egg hatch 4 days ago and I have a healthy chick. I have two questions, should I be concerned that the wiggly egg hasn't pipped and IF i get chicks from any of these eggs should I separate them from older chick for a day or two in case older chick decides to pick on younger ones.

is the wiggling one the day 21? and if they are only a day apart then the chicks will be fine together. but, if you have older ones, then yes...keep them apart. The hens and roo's will kill the chicks.

Yes, the wiggling one is due to hatch today (day 21). The chick I do have is 4 days old so I was going to wait to add the new chicks in with him/her after they were stable on their feet and eating and drinking. My day 22 egg shows no sign and the other day 21 is quiet too.
