I wish mine would pip I am going to go with my theory... it is taking them at least the full 21 days or better because I took them from under the hens as they laid them and straight into the bator.

Aww I hope everybody is having more luck! Maybe you'll get a bunch of day 22 or 23 hatches.

I have 9 of 12 out right now. Two have good pips in them but they haven't made any progress since 10pm last night but I'm still hopeful.
I think I'll take the 9 that hatched already and put them in the brooder today. It's getting a little squished in there now.
I also just got an e-mail that the chicks I ordered by Murry hatchery shipped, so I'm going to have a while bunch of chicks running around

I got the e-mail at 5am that they shipped and I just got a call from the big Post Office in Albany that they are in and I can go pick them up. Great timing

9 pipped and 1 unzipped.....it should be soon! We're 2.5 hours into day 20.
