Thanksgiving Hatch- Anyone want to join in?

[NoseyChickens]

Day is day20. So far no movement at all. Had a humidity spike yesterday. And I am really worried now. I will be so sad if they don't hatch. I will be gone all day. The humidity and temp are stable. Keeping my fingers crossed. But having a hard time being hopeful.

Yeah, me too. I am hopeful for the ones under the broody, but sceptical about the ones in the bator.

Actually, mine aren't early they're on time to a day late. And I never notice mine rocking very much if at all, until right at pip/hatch time. I now have four out.

I opened this thread hoping for pics and I wasn't disappointed!

So should I be freaked out or not? They aren't due until tomorrow. I think this first hatch is going to send me into therapy!

Have 2 more pips, one of those has zipped about halfway. The other pip this morning was 'drooling' from the pip spot, I snaked a paper towel into one of the air holes and dabbed it a bit, it was like it sprung a leak! Drew off a lot of liquid and now he's got his beak out of the pip hole and cheeping. The pip from last night has knocked off a lot of shell but cant seem to break through that tough inner white part of the shell

Watching and waiting on him, may have to dampen that if he doesn't start ripping it open by tomorrow morning.

Now for the rest of them to show signs of life

After the three ducklings yesterday, nothing has happened in the incubator. **pacing** But no one is actually due until tomorrow, so...

for the Silkies!

I'm glad to see all the hatchlings!

Lint fell asleep last night on top of the duckling. I think he was happy to have some one to cuddle up to. The freaky bit was that he was laying on his back with his claws up in the air. So I had to reach down and tickle him to reassure myself.

I got a pip in the silkie batch and 2 in the barnyard mix batch

Now if they'd just hurry up and pop out I'd be really happy
