Patiently (maybe not completely) waiting for my babies to hatch

We now officially have one chick completely hatched, one pipped and one just barely cracked!! The one that is pipped is the one from last night. Just taking a little extra to get out. Keeping my fingers crossed for him/her.

I had to laugh when I saw the title of this thread, that describes me perfectly! Day 21 today for me, and had 9 chicks hatch overnight, but still have 21 with no sign of pips or peeps - high anxiety time

sounds like me. i havent got more that 3 hours of sleep a night all week because i was watching chicks hatch

i have a hatch staggered over 6 days so its been pretty exciting. none of mine have taken any longer from pip to hatch that 4 hours.

I am still waiting on the first one pipped to completely hatch out. I'm getting anxious. It's moving around, just taking it's sweet time. I am just hoping it's not too weak to make the entrance. I have 4 more eggs that have pipped.

So, 1 complete hatch and 5 pipped.

Again, don't be hasty to help... I personally will never help a chick hatch again in my life.

I have been tempted to, but senses came back to me.

I just sit, watch and am anxious. This is worse then any waiting I have encountered.

So 6 more chicks out now, but no decrease in anxiety (sigh)

I have 7 chicks now, and 3 more pipped~still have 15 eggs to go! They are slowly coming out of their shells...slower then I thought. Perhaps it's because the lower temp in my still air bator?
