Stop watching the bator and go to bed. They will come out just as soon as you stop watching.

Day 20 started at 4pm for me.
No movement from eggs and no pips yet : (
What is your temp and humidity? If low, it may be day 21-22 for you. Hang in there. I have seven out now. 6 Buffs and 1 Dominique. I am so excited and blessed. My temp has been 100 the whole time and humity ranged from 45, but now up to 70. I moved 4 to the brooder and they are dry and sleeping. The three in the bator are raising cane and bowling with the other eggs. They may have to come out too.
 


Here is #17, the first one to pip and the first one out. Pip to zip was from at least 6am to 9:45pm. Zip to out was about 15 minutes. Sorry it is blurry, my cell phone does not want to focus that well on that clear plastic.

I have had one hatch and one on the way. They both have pipped in the middle more or less. I hope they are not all that way or if they are they will have no problems. I don't know how long I can stay up to nite. I wish they would hatch in the day time. I haven't be able to figure out how to manage that.

This is the first pip as you can see it is in the middle

and this is what came out. LOL I thought at first that only a mother could love that and then I realized I am the mother and I do love that. SHe is sooo cute.

This is the second. As you can see her mouth is wide open and yelling. LOL That egg is really a light blue. Can't see it in that light though.
I hope I get some sleep to nite. I guess my art guild is off for tomorrow. I really needed to go because we have a show coming up but they will have to do without me tomorrow I am sure. They will understand because we are all small town people and farmers here.

Kids, animals and crops come first.
I just looked and she is kicking off the shell. her legs are grey.
 
My computer is being all kinds of crazy. Not sure why it posted that same reply so many times.

I have a Brinsea Octogon 20 Advance EX. It is tight quarters for hatching. That is the only thing I don't like about it so far. This is the first time using it! I have 4 others with pips.
