Please help! Do I need to put coconut oil on pip?

Humidity at 57%. I'll try to gently bump it to 65%

The one Spitz is the only one that made it to lockdown. There was a couple of rotten eggs in with it. There are 3 CCL's. 2 came from a shipment of a dozen and 1 came from a shipment of 4 (2 were broken in this small order). Then 2 of Mally's test eggs. They're so dark that I can't see well enough in them to get a great idea, but I have noticed a tiny bit of movement from one of them. I did see what I believe to be a vein in the other one. We'll see. Next time I do a test, I use a hen that lays eggs easier to candle

The Spitz is chirping and moving around in the egg

Unfortunately I don't know what time it externally pipped. It was between 4:30pm and 7pm. Should I just use 4:30pm for the time?

Here is the external pip. I haven't checked the other eggs yet.

Woke up to 3 external pips @MGG

I am shocked at the progress being made here! They've been busy. I'm working today so I'll have to go in to check on them every hour or so. Thankfully my shop is beside my house. In case the picture doesn't load, the Spitz is zipped almost half way. One of the CCL pipped/zipped a large circle and gave me a large viewing area. The circle is hopefully large enough for it to work around. I put them into lockdown on the night of Day 18. I really need to start going into lockdown the morning of Day 18. Hopefully this didn't cause problems again. Today is Day 21. I believe the CCL in the back is 2 days behind these. Should I move it to another incubator? My humidity is at 64%. Mally's eggs haven't done anything but I haven't checked them because I can't see anything since they're so dark. I set her the same time as the others (minus the one CCL) @MGG

Wanted to add that I can see the beaks on the Spitz and the CCL. They don't seem to be chewing or yawning. They're working, resting, or crying all the time now.

@MGG i have 2 chicks!!! I am freaking out and super excited! Still a bit nervous for the other 3 eggs, especially the one CCL that has externally pipped. These are my first standard size chicks and they look so BIG! What do you suggest I do now? Leave them in and come back to check soon? The pipped egg is laying with the pip upwards

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Humidity is at 70% since these 2 hatched. I tried to remove some water but humidity is still at 69%

OMG!!! YAY!!!!!
