Our first hatch - CPQ

[ShazUK]

Day 8

Candled again, our maybe egg (3) has obviously quit. It was less developed than the others last time, and there's been no further development since. Egg 9 looks to be developing nicely, but the air cell seems too large, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

1. No development
2. Good
3. Early quitter
4. No development
5. Good
6. Good
7. No development
8. Good
9. Large air cell
10. Good
11. Good
12. No development

Day 10

7 eggs out of 12 (shipped) still going strong. We saw movement in the lighter egg, but the others are just too dark.
Egg number 9 is still hanging in there despite it's huge air cell.

Day 12

Same egg, day 8 and day 11. Getting harder to candle.

Day 13 (lockdown)

7 out of 12 eggs still going strong.
Nothing left to do but wait. Fingers crossed for a successful hatch Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Day 16

We have our first pip!
Excuse the terrible picture, my phone camera isn't great and taking pictures through the incubator made it worse..

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest as they hatch too!

We have one that's pipped the wrong end, I've read that it might need assistance, how should I proceed?

**Edit** not to worry, he/she is out and exploring the incubator.
