"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

[hEEather]

My hatch is going well! I set 11. 5 hatched already, 4 more are pipped, and one is zipping! How fun! I am having a ball with all of these contests! And, this is my very first hatch-a-long!

Too cute!

Now it moved and i can sew a little better. It looks like it will detach in a few more walks

Congrats! My kids were super excited to see chicks born too!!! Hope this one is okay. It was so hard for us to see inside that bator. We had one that just needed the naval to dry out I guess because by the time we took it out it was completely normal. I guess it was 13 hours in the incubator after it was born. I didn't open my incubator and we just watched the whole thing. It can be hard to not open it and wait, especially for my kids!!!! But we made it.
Best luck!!!!! Can't wait to see updates!

I think I would just leave it. Sometime this process needs to finish a bit after they hatch. It is good that it is not bloody. It will probably dry and drop off. Lots of times they come out of the shell attached by a tiny bit.

So nervous this morning, put eggs in lockdown last night, waiting for some kind of movement is hard. I just want some sign of life.

Hang in there! It will be well worth the wait!

Locked down 8 turkey eggs this morning.

6 of the 8 looking good.

I must have marked date I set wrong as I think some had already pipped internally.

So I'm hoping that the lack of higher humidity for a couple of days doesn't impact the hatch too bad.

Congrats to all that have hatched.
