oh here is a good piece of advice, dont use cupcake papers.... LOL oh boy, what a mess that was!
Really? I'm curious here. I did the same and was really happy with the results. The eggs didn't roll everywhere, and I thought clean up was easy.

That is fantastic news!! do you have pips on any others?? I have been up twice during the night to stare at my eggs and I'm only on day 19 I usually have one early pip but so far nothing..... I'm trying the egg carton thing again so maybe I can't see them. Ok back to try and catch a little more sleep before work.Im a new chick mommmy1 down 16 to go

Taking notes.... I will be sending pictures out and asking for all the colors/sex of all as soon as they show up.... please please please be available in 22 days?? oooooh please!!! soooo beautiful
Yippee!!!! I am so happy for you!!!
How are the others looking... any pips? Your first chick will talk to the others and encourage them. Definitely leave her in the incubator... she doesn't need food or water for a couple of days and you do not want to drop the humidity on the others by opening the bator. So just enjoy watching!!!
I know exactly what you mean!! I can advise others so well but have a hard time taking my own advice.... I just need to see one pip then I'm okay.... I have had one total failed hatch before with no pips so now once I see a pip I relax a little! I'm cleaning out a bigger brooder for my 13 week olds to pass the time.... I sold 8 of my chicks / older hens last night..... Somehow at the last second the splash maran I was always planning on keeping got sold.... Oh well time to hatch more Marans eggs I'm going to try and put some under my broody! I just need to get eggs ASAP! She didn't even come out for breakfast this morning! Probably because I snatched her eggs yesterday when she ran out for food .....Quote:
I know what you mean about loosing sleep!!! I spent a lot of time watching mine when I should have been sleeping last night too!
Isn't it crazy how we all drive ourselves nuts when nothing is happening and it's still early??? Even as I was advising others that it's OK.. still early... I was secretly driving myself nuts about my reds not pipping! I guess I still am. My mutt bantams, which were my old eggs that I wan't expecting much from are pipping and hatching like crazy. (9 out so far.) Meanwhile my reds, which have hatched well for me before and were very fresh (a few 1 day old, most layed that day) are doing almost nothing. So far just one has pipped. (Is there such a thing as eggs that are too fresh?) So now I'm taking my own advice... "it's still only day 20"..."it's still only day 20"..."it's still only day 20"...
