Hi, I'm still hatching. Today is day 21 for me. I have a little more than 11 chicks (I think, I lost count). I did lose two yesterday, but they were two I don't think should have made it anyways. They were both super early and I think not fully developed. I have two who are halfway zipped since yesterday around 6:00pm (one maybe a little later) and don't understand what's taking them so long. I still have a few more eggs to go, so I am waiting. I want to take the hatched chicks out because they barely have room in there. Especially with the egg cartons (there is three egg cartons in there), but I am fearful of shrink wrapping the other ones that have not hatched yet. Technically now is when they are supposed to start hatching. So I am sitting here debating if I should maybe take out one chick really quickly every half hour until they are all out. I already have everything to set their brooder up in my bedroom for now.

How is everything going with you?
