Pip and then nothing?

[whytedragon]

I had some eggs pip yesterday, some around noon, some a bit later...but they haven't done anything else since. Should I be expecting these not to make it?

 

[onthespot]

not yet. somtiems they can be pipped for a day and then hatch fine. How many days have you been incubating them, and were the temps okay?

You really should expect nothing. A pip can preceed the hatch by a day or more. Just be patient, it will happen.

Yeah, I found out about patience yesterday, lol. Had 6 chicks hatch.
But they progressed steadily.
They are on day 21, temps were completely stable, except for the beginning, but I candled everything before putting in the hatcher, and all looked viable.
Temps in the hatcher are a little off...since I have them in the garage and it's cold outside, had a drop to 99.0 for a few hours. Humidity holding well.
