Any babies this morning hdowden?

I have 2 pips and some chirping

freaking out cuz I mistakenly put them into lock down early

and that was Friday and I of course haven't added any extra water I really hope there's enough water in there for humidity to last the hatch

 

[hdowden]

the marans has hatched out and is almost fully dried and then i have another marans pipped and a porecline d'uccle pipped still waiting for more to pip!!!!

edit: i think its a mix marans though and it hatched around 4:00 am. i only know this because my 1 year old decieded she was hungry at 4:10 lol

It varies....can take up to 24hrs mine all so far seem to be around 12hrs

3 of mine hatched, 2 more o go in this set....one piped at pointy end of egg....seen blood so figured it probably died but then more shell kinda chipped away...about 1am I went in and chipped away and opened membrane around its beak....this morning its not made any more progress....I will wait for other one to hatch and if by then still nothing I may try and help a little more
