Woke up to lots of pips. Left to run errands, just got back and two mutts have hatched. I am praying my few black silkies and mottled Houdans hatch.

 

[lillypug]

my count is up to 4 chicks now.

So far only mutts, lol.

I just left school a 5:00 and so far 11 have hatched. Come on baby chicks. I wonder how many there will be tomorrow morning?

Ok............came home to five more chickies. Only one egg hasnt hatched. I candled it and cant see anything moving but at one point I felt like something shocked me. Was it maybe the baby tapping on the egg? I put it back. I know I broke the cardinal rule by even opening the bator, but I figured if the baby was dead it wouldnt matter anyway. They all were suppose to hatch by today. Most of them hatched out last night and I woke up to six baby chicks, then five more while I was at work. So out of a dozen eggs. 11 hatched. Pretty good hatch rate. So.......should I give the other egg a little more time? especially since I felt a weird sensation while trying to see movement? Any help, and hand slapping...............will be appreciated.

I have several eggs that I noticed have pipped. Worried a little about two of them because it looks like they pipped on the wrong end. I will be gone all day tomorrow too.

I hope they make it ok.

Yea babies are pipping and hatching, but I must have pictures. I am still a few days behind we go into lockdown tomorrow. Good luck all.

OK I am all done last 2 I assisted as had pipped first thing and beaks were out of the pipped part of shell, by 10pm no more movement but could see membrane was very dry even though I had whacked humidity up to 80%. Candled the last 4 eggs whilst incubator open and they had stopped developing so got them out.

So out of 24 eggs from my lovely hens I got 18 chicks so am very happy - setting up incubator and will transfer all but the last 2 to it later today and give them a bit more time to fluff up - although they look good this morning.

Good luck to all of those that are still waiting or going into lockdown now - I am exhausted and looking forward to some full nights sleep.

I came in to school this morning with 14 hatched. Boy is my room a popular place. Even the principal came in to see the "hot chicks".
