I've got 7 in the hatching incubator "shadowing"! Day 26 for six of them and day 24 for the other! still no internal peep which I guess is fine but UGH I'm so impatient

What day are you on? I've never seen the 'internal' pip, too afraid to open the incubator!!

I'm on day 27 & 25! Only the 27s are internally pipping right now, I think they'll be a tad late to hatch so hopefully they'll make it!
The 25s though are shadowing and looking like they're close to pipping internally! From what I've read it is generally "ok" to quickly candle them before the external pip but honestly I have no clue I am so anxious I've hurt them, but also sometimes I'll put a blanket over me and the Bator with a humidifier running on the super dry days! I couldn't tell if they were just shadowing or had actually pipped until al the sudden I could actually see the beak like the color of it and not just the shadow! No peeping though only the clicking breathing noise!

One of my incubators is also semi clear and the eggs are against the wall so I can shine my light through the sides to candle

What color of runners is everyone hatching? Mine are fawn and white x black cross so I'm curious what will come out (if anything at all does)
