So adorable! Congratulations! I set my alarm to wake me at 2 and 3 so i could check on them! Apparently we had a pip last night but i thought it was a piece of lint on the egg, this morning it was obviously a pip! Of course i am heading off to work until late tonight! I'll be watching on the web cam!

I had this baby girl peeping away. Something told me to get up (2 hours before the alarm went off LOL) and here she is, must of just hatched because she's still scruffy looking

Thanks, I hope that you'll be able to come home to an incubator full of chicks

Same here. It's my last day at work, and I'm working 1:30-10pm. I have 8 eggs left, hoping they will hatch before noon lol.

Stonefamily3 I am watching via webcam! So at least i will be able to watch, somewhat, I can only see less than half of my eggs, but we do have the pipped one on the cam. I hope i come home to alot of pips! Keeping my fingers crossed that yours hatch before you leave today! Good luck!

Congrats to those who already have chicks...
I'm on Day 20.... no chicks..

Had yet another dream about chicks though.
I dreamt that I wasn't getting any chicks so I brought the incubator to the hospital to see what was wrong. it was so weird.
i was like doctor,,, why aren't they hatching... and he said "well, ma'm you see that stamp on the bottom? Made in China? these are plastic eggs" lol

OH NO!!!
I just checked the incubator and the bowl of water.... the water is gone from the bowl and sponge!!!!
what do i do?

Insert PANIC mode here.

I had to open my incubator to add water to it. The babies knocked over my thermometer and I couldn't see the temp or humidity. I have eight that are hatched, four that are pipped, and four that have nothing going on yet. I took the eight that have hatched out and added water. The temp was fine, the humidity had dropped from around 72 down to 62. It very quickly came back up to where it should be.



They are dried, but some look wet. They have dried slime on them.

All your pictures and posts of hatching are making me jealous - I have 9 days to go....

I wish the one that has pipped would hurry up and do something!
