I'm thinking about candling the four straggler eggs if I don't see a pip by tonight. Wish I had done something about the Dominique egg before I went to bed. It was part of a group of eggs that had pipped by 9 am, but all the others hatched by 11:30pm yesterday.
 
How long should I leave them in the incubator after they hatch? One hatched at 5 am and is rolling eggs around some.
 
I just took my chicks out - it had been 30 hrs since the first hatched. I pulled the two eggs that I noted had odd air cells at the lockdown candle. One was 'sloshy' so obviously a dud and the other had pipped to the bottom and I think drowned. I opened it and there was huge blood clot around the pip/beak area. So just two left in the incubator. If the last two hatch, then I'll be at 72%. If they don't, that's 57% for my first try - not too shabby. Next time I'll try traditional humidity. Dry hatching didn't seem to be amazingly successful.
