All six have pipped! Now it's all down to them while I bite my nails on the sidelines.

Gofygure, Great news! Can't wait to see pics of the fluffy butts running around.

Loopy, thanks for your help. The little chick is resting up. Still in the same position but doesn't seemed stressed.

Yes indeed.
I have already cleared out my email inbox for two hours, and am now clearing off the video camera...lol
If I didn't hatch eggs when would I ever do these things...

LMAO, I'm doing laundry, cleaned out the second bator preparing for yet another hatch, about to grill some dinner, and in a couple hours Ill be studying. They'll probably wait until we are in bed to make their grand entrance... did I mention the bator's in my room? Smart one I know

... I'll look like this for work in the morning

Hmmm the tone of this thread has certainly changed now things are drawing to a climax! Yay for the pips people, how are they coming along now??

Compton - how can oyu tell the chick has changed position?

Loopy12 - does the chick have to change position after pipping every time?

The original pipper is trying to get out the wrong end and will probably need assistance. It hasn't gone past the 'beak poking' stage in about 20 hours, which is a red flag for me. Letting it keep until morning, because it's still very active and noisy, but it's upped my anxiety for the rest of them.

I wish there was more to do on a Sunday night in these parts. My house can only be so spotless.

In happier news, this egg has gone from zero to 60. It was a standard crack in the shell when I posted all of 15 minutes ago!

Dude, EVERYbody is hatching right now, hehe! This is so exciting!

...I forgot I had a duck. I'm way behind you guys. >.>

 

[Gofygure]

First hatch of the bunch! This little one is going on a rampage through the brooder right now.
