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

[wholewheatchicken]

Yeah I know, today is hatch day and they haven't done ANYTHING! Starting to get worried that none are going to make it...

Don't worry yet.....today is hatch day for both of us and.....I HAVE A PIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody else is moving, but they're in egg crates so I'm not sure how much I will see. I don't know what time I put mine in the incubator to know when to expect them.
Mohillbilly, you're a good man. I put mine in the basement these last few times so I wouldn't sit there and just stare into the box. I did find spending hours watching nothing built my anxiety level!

Well, I figure I'll wait until tomorrow night, and if I still haven't heard or seen anything, then I'll candle them. I hope I see/hear something before then!!

[CALI CHICK]

Yeah, Kim! Don't worry you are going to have chicks hatching anytime!

I remember last time, I had 2 pip on hatchday and ended up with those 2 hatching. Then, I had 2 more pip and hatch on Day 22. The others didn't make it but it was probably because they were shipped with messed up aircells that I didn't know how to recover them...instead I did a "dry hatch" and made their aircells too big.

. We live and learn.

Now go make sure your brooder is ready for chicks.

[Frost Homestead]

two of mine have hatched and one is almost done zipping. there are a couple more in there that have pipped too!

They are driving me nuts, but it is helping to keep my hands out of the bator to get anyone out, LOL.

lol..I've been trying to ignore mine, but peeping noises are coming out of it

It looks hungover!!!!! How sweet!

I've only had the one pip and it's doing nothing. We have a baby monitor hooked up to the side of the incubator and this morning you could hear it banging some and cheep a little. I hope it's sleeping and not dead. Nothing else going on in the bator so nothing else to report.
I started my NPIP process and am pollorum clean!!!!!!! I will get the results back in two weeks on the AI and then get my number. I'll be ready to ship......NOTHING, LOL! Okay, just a little humor.
Good luck Ilovemyduckies. Just know I'm right there with you and it makes it so hard because everyone on here has chicks popping out their ears....I want a chick to pop too

You know, at the time of that hatch I couldn't figure out why your air cells were on the sides of the eggs and now I know. I guess it's a problem when they are shipped for the air cells to detach. I had some come last week like that and I hope I did enough research on how to incubate to give them the best chance to make it. I will let you know how they are looking in nine more days. If you ever get shipped eggs again and you want to know anything I learned, I would be happy to share. And I am going to incubate all shipped eggs the same way just since it seems like it would be of the most benefit to them. I'm hopeful it will work.....goodness knows I have enough problems without air cells too!!!!
