Woke up to another pip.

Jealous! I wish I had more pips.

 

[Emmalion]

I have 2 eggs left without pips. Day 22 I hope they pip because I want my whole batch to hatch. But I have 4 out now with 5 on the way. I can't believe this many hatched to be honest. I thought for sure it was going to be a bad experience.

 

[kvmommy]

Thats still good. its day 22 with me too...not sure what to do about the eggs that were rocking and chirping all over the place and are still now. I think their shells are too thick. I keep debating on whether I should poke a hole in the air cell like some people suggest. Normally I'd wait since its only day 2 but considering they were moving and aren't now, and I just had 16 successful hatches, so I'm thinking they either dead or will be soon if I don't help.

i did that with the last egg...it rocked and rolled and that was it...while the other two were already hatching, it was pretty quiet although it had pipped, it wasn't zipping at all like the others, and then no movement, so i decided to go ahead and help it zip...i'm glad i did...i know it may not always come out alright, so i'm glad this time it did

BTW pip is zipping and I just got my order of duck eggs in. Man I hope those last two eggs hurry up so I can clean up the bator and start over lol Yes I am addicted.......

I'm on day 23 now with 7 hatched and 8 still in the incubator with no pips. I'll give them until tomorrow before calling it quits. I expect I'll probably be putting another batch in on Wednesday!

#5 made its way out around noon. No new pips in the 2 left. I am going to give them until monday then I am putting in my duck eggs. Also going to hatch some chicks for someone who is collecting his eggs from his girls. He tried incubating once before and it was a total botch job. He admits it he didn't know what he was doing and didn't read up on it. So 1 week of duck eggs then in go the chicken eggs. Going for the easter hatch thinggy.

More like I just love my little fuzzies so much I want more and more and more and more....... ok ok you get the picture.

I don't think the last two are going to do anything. Even tho one of them was moving a lot on day 19 I hear nor see any movement in the air cell and its rather large. The other one I dont hear or see anything either air cell is clear on that one too.

They have until Monday.

But hey 5 out of the 7 that made it to lock down is pretty good right?
