It's helpful to have something to keep you preoccupied. Me, I just go to work and there's nothing I can do about it. Than again I don't really worry about them even when I'm home.

The two that are pipped if they hatch will be Biscuits and Gravy. No others are pipped that I know of but my son wants to name one Toast

Your son sounds a lot like you LOL

If this keeps up I may have to burn my dues card in the April HAL.....day 21 and absolutely nothing happening in the hatcher.

Good luck, they may just need more time

2 hatched 4 pips.... come on kids

Woohoo!!

Was not expecting this today. Bantams hatching on day 19. 6am Actually eggs were placed in incubator @11 am on Sunday April 10th. Assuming it took a little time for them to internally heat to the incubators temp. I will research it, but if anyone has an opinion, will the "early" hatch cause any issues with chicks? One chick has hatched 2 pics are of same chick. 1 other egg has pipped. It is the close-up of the egg lower right corner of egg is tip of beak sticking out. Shell is from first chick that hatched. Brooder is ready, should I remove chick and allow it to dry there? Humidity is high. Only going by condensation on window. I have water in water channels and a had a sponge. I removed sponge when removed shell. 9:45 just checked and now one other "full size" egg is pipped!!! Called off work today!!!!

Awe
