I have two right now that came a little eairly..... they are still attached to the bottom of the shells and everything so guess i will see what happens in the next few hours. i put my eggs in the bator on the 17th at 9pm so the 18th was day 1.....

You'll wake up to some fluffy butts in your bator!

I know! Why can't they be conscientious chicks and hatch in the next 15 minutes so I can go to bed?

Just had an egg wobble!

Sounds like we're starting to have a lot of hatching going on. Good luck everybody. I don't go into lockdown until tomorrow.

Day 20 and 1 chick has hatched and 2 more pipping!!

 

[Sphinx]

Woohoo! Congratulations!


At this point, I have 4 hatched, and one more that is just taking its' time.

No new hatches yet but 4 have pipped!! The one little guy is just chirping away and climbing all over the other eggs. I think he wants to play!!

Those are so cute!!!


My last chick STILL hasn't hatched. It's been pipped over 30 hours and just has zero interest.

I tried zipping a bit for it, but the membrane bleeds if I touch it at all, so I refuse to mess with it again. I'm scared that I'm either going to make it bleed out, or I won't intervene in time, and it'll have leg problems. I can't deal with another chick with leg problems again so soon.

I did take some pics of my other chicks to distract me. I'll go post them in a sec.
