since my temps were at 93 this am I afraid my hatch will be delayed until Feb 5th Im sure of it...Argh...Temp was at 96 when I left I hope I didnt turn it up to high before I left:-(

Better to be a little late than to cook the chickens! I never feel comfortable about changing the temp and then leaving the house for a while.

Ugh .. don't you hate that .. I didn't think my temp was raising fast enough after transferring to lockdown, so I bumped it up a notch and woke up with it at almost 103 ..

Temp was at purring at right at 100 this morning .. 11 pips by the time I left for work .. and still one little vocal chickie going Peep peep pee peep peep ...

I only have two Wellie eggs (containing olive egger babies) .. neither have pipped .. I'm praying I get at least one ...

(really think we need a praying icon .. lol)

I heard a peep! My hatch date is tomorrow! ... can't see anyone trying to come out just yet! Any idea how long until I should see a pipping on any of my eggs? How do the peep if they haven't even cracked the shell yet?

They have broken threw their air cell...thats when they really take their first true breath of fresh air. That takes them a while then they rest again. then they pipthrough the shell-then rest for a while-then zip-then rest sometimes...its takes while
