I have a baby! I did not see a thing! She had pipped and zipped all within a two hour time period! I cannot wait to hold her, she's so tiny. A little buff silkie we have named Annie. See photos on my blog: http://www.iknowachicken.com/one-is-the-loneliest-number/

No movement yet at GreenGirlGrammys. You must have a Super Chick in there! This is only day 19.5 for us since I placed them late on May 3rd.
My temp is averaging right at 100, and humidity holding steady at 69%. Got my camera on ready. Some of these eggs were held on the counter for up to 9 days.
Like many of you, this is my first experience. So it has been great learning from each other. So glad Wyo started this thread. Sounds like some of you guys are
really having some issues, so I'm bracing myself for anything!!

Sorry about the Naked Neck leg problems. I've never seen any for real, but from the pictures...sheesh!!!...are they part buzzard?!

Okay, I went out to check on my broody hen this morning and she got up to rearrange herself and the eggs as I walked in. As she got up I saw that one of the eggs had a pip, but right as I noticed the egg Skittles (my broody hen) stepped on the piped egg. She ended up cracking the egg so I brought it inside and put it in my incubator. So, far the chick is doing well but I did notice that it has a cut on it's under belly and it's intestines are coming out of the cut. I put a band aid on it but I have no clue as to what else to do, so if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!! I did try to gently push the intestines back in but it did not work. I also might add that this chick hatched 3 days early. I have since taken all of Skittles eggs because I don't want her to break any more. They are all in my incubator and I have 2 with pips so we will see how many hatch!

Still nothing here but I still have 2days. I did notice that my temps were off but figured it out. When I removed the turner, it moved the thermometer lower from the coils. And was very frustrated with humidity. The so move the hygrometers around and found that when one was closer to the fan, it would be lower than the other two. So I am maintain 3 different levels 61% near the fan and 70 furthest from it. Hoping that will work.

Anyone else ever run into this?

I have seen mine move, but no pips. Can't wait...I have to wonder if I will sleep tonight or if I will be up every hour checking them. Glad the 'bator is in my bedroom.
