Rock and Roll Eggs - First Hatch

[paddyro]

Well, egg #1 hasn't changed pip hole size. One of my Auracana eggs has pipped, but on the wrong end. UGH! I do hear cheeping from the incubator, tho. Gee Ma Nelly - I was going to try and get the house clean before the kids got home. Now I'm parked in front of the incubator just staring! Newbies should be warned - this hatching stuff is somewhat addictive!!

Should all the eggs be rocking? I've only seen movement from 3 - the ones that have pipped...

I need to go shopping or something. Maybe next time I'll just order day old chicks! The suspense is killing me!!!

Mine didn't move until it pipped. I had no idea that it was that close to hatching. He has half the egg cracked now. Turned on the radio this morning and he started just working away So I'm sure they are fine

LOL - I just turned on the 80s station for mine! Nothing like hatching to the sound of ZZ Top! "She's got eggs.... she knows how to use them...."

Can I join?

I am on day 22 and NOTHING YET

Welcome aboard! Day 21 for me! I'm going crazy! It's a good show though

The waiting is driving me nuts. Not sure mine are alive but I have been strong and not opened the incubator......yet!

 

[paddyro]

Do you have a window? You are stronger than I could be! My incubator is clear all around, so I can see everyone. Just had a 4th pip, and lots of little chirps! Today is Day 21 - so hoping for a good outcome!

And we have ZIP! Started about 20 min ago... let's see how long it takes!

Currently:
1 light sussex zipping
1 light sussex pipped
2 araucanas pipped
1 araucana, 3 marans, ameraucana, and wyandottes - nada yet.

Anything significant that the breeds appear to be grouping together in the hatch?

 

[BIsme]

Yaay! I just heard peeping! No pippers yet though... How long did it take for yours to pip after you heard them peep? Or did you even hear them peep?

 

[BIsme]

Scratch that! We have a pip! My silkie chick is pipping! No sleep tonight!
