Set eggs 3/5. Looking for others to hatch with!

It's been 27 hours since I last candled my eggs. I thought I heard a peep coming from the incubator, but now I don't think it was. Well, I guess I'll just have to go bed and see if I hear peeping tomorrow morning :D
 
I have six out now and several more pips. Hard to tell because they are climbing them and rolling them.. Goodness. One of the first hatched keeps going to the ones that are zipping and sitting on them! Like a hen, right on top. Lol silly thing.
 
WWC- I though for sure I had killed mine too, but my pip from yesterday just hatched about an hour ago! 3am on day 21! Just give them time and every time you look in, encourage them.
 
It's been 36 hours since I last candled them. I haven't heard or seen anything. Do you think it's still alive? I'm anxiously waiting for some signs of life.

Had an EE hatch after I went back to bed and a pip on another NN. I hate you can barely see anything this go round, lesson learned. Can you see chickie #1?? Top basket, bottom corner, little blob of fuzz.
 
I see it, good idea on the baskets, but since it's driving you nuts maybe you could use those clear strawberry baskets that the strawberries come in next time :)
 
Yesterday's pipped egg hatched a little Black Rosecomb!

But no more pips on any 3/4 eggs; they are due today, so I'm not too worried yet.

On the brightside, of the four Blue Bantam Ameraucana eggs that went to lockdown this am, four are definitely moving! Several other eggs went into lockdown today too, so Junior will have company soon.

Gratz to everyone with fuzzy butts! I'll get a pic of mine posted soon as he's dry. Go, chickies, go!

You are calling your bantam Am egg blue....is that self blue or a different blue? If it's self blue, I call it lavendar, and we would be talking about the same thing. I am wondering because I found those to be soooo hard to come by. I looked high and low. I had the opportunity to buy four chicks.....they are lavendar and black/lav. They are all brother and sister. So I found some more eggs down in Texas and had them shipped and the air cells are completely detached. Someone FB'd me and I just bought a dozen more last night. I'm hoping I can get enough hatched out to make breeding trios.
Were they difficulat to incubate and what did you keep your humidity at for them? They are so small! I love the blue color of the eggs, though!
Good luck on your pipps. Hoping they all hatch out
