Wow! I have 9 eggs due to hatch Sunday as well and no pips yet. Your air cells have looked good to me. I have a couple Marans eggs with smaller air cells that I’m worried about. Good luck with your hatch!

Also, I didn’t notice this before, but the brown one on the left (named magnolia because her mom is named daisy) has a teeny pip as well

Thank you! To you as well! I want marans sooooo badly! Make sure you let us know when your chicks hatch with lots and lots of pictures!!

Great!

The wire and staples are disconcerting, but I imagine it's a sensor attached to a piece of thin clear plastic?

I was wrong! One of my Easter eggers has pipped. So exciting!

Yes! It’s a thermometer and hydrometer stapled to a price of plastic. I have checked many times to make sure the staples aren’t sharp.

They look to be hanging in thin air....but I knew that they were not, I have a thermometer like that.
Doesn't that plastic get in the way during hatching?

Last time I hatched it didn’t, but that doesn’t mean it won’t. Do you think I should move it? Also, another has pipped, so now there are 3 total that I can tell that are on their way! I’m setting up the temporary brooder now.
