So far, 2 pips seen, and some cheeping. Bracing for dissappointment, bator temps have fluctuated, couldn't get the humidity down much the first couple weeks.

I am so jealous Alaina! Still no pips here this morning! I had attempted candling around day 10 and didn't ever see much in the lighter colored eggs but was at least hoping the darker eggs had been developing. Think I may have gotten duds!

so sorry happyfarmlady, I was really bracing for dissappointment yesterday,as nothing seemed to be happening, then in the after noon finally some pips. Now I have 7 chicks, and 6 more eggs are pipped (though I don't have much hope for the one, it was pipped last night and hasn't progressed) and one is presently zipping. I plan to leave the eggs in there at least until tomorrow, though I have another batch waiting their turn now. Keep in mind, this is out of 44 eggs I started with, so much better than nothing, but not as good as it could be!!
