Pipping not hatching

[Ronie]

So 3 or 4 of my eggs started to pip last night around 9 PM. Non have hatched yet, should I spray them? Is there anything I can do? How long does it usually take?

It can take 24 hours after they pip.

 

[AlleysChicks]

what are you hatching? If chicks they can take up to 24 hrs. Ducklings can take up to 48 hrs.

 

[Ronie]

Ok, phew! Thank you! I have both chicken and ducks. As of now half of the chickens have pipped.

 

[eggbert420]

The ducks will take 7 more days.

I just hatched seven chicks. I didn't see any of them until day 23 or 24. I had mine under a broody hen though so I couldn't see what was happening until I looked under her. That's them in my profile pic with Mama Hen (as of May 2017, it may be changed in the future.)

This is day 24. Chicks took a while.

If they are this late, you need to check temps, check the thermometer for accuracy. Forced air should be 99.5F and still air should be 101-102F. Late hatchers signify low average temps during incubation.
