I've got 2 zipping and 1 pipped, and 3 left. My humidity dripped last night to 44!

I home they're ok. I shined my light in on them and they still look really moist. Hopefully they'll pop out today!

Thursday was my actual hatch day. so we're going on 2 days late.

I've got 3 hatched so far. 1 has spradle leg. I helped him out, I thought he was shrink wrapped, but he wasn't. I probably should've just left him alone. he might have come out on his own. Dang! Well got his legs splinted together and he's resting again.

I only have the one Brahma egg that made it through rough packing/shipping. She was suppose to hatch yesterday also.

I am not familiar with spradle leg?

Here's some info on spraddle leg & curled toes. It's about 1/2 way down the page.

Quote: I wanted to check mine on Wednesday cause I was getting no action, but then when I picked one egg up I could feel it moving in there, so I carefully set it back down. I just felt the eggs in the bator and could feel movement in all of them, so I left them alone.
