No pips yet. Had several temp spikes over the last two days, doesn't look good. I'm praying that some will make it.

I have 2 that you can see life and veins, but they have not internally pipped, I think they are breach how long do I wait to see what they will do? Do I help them? all of my others chicks are happily in the brooder.

Wo

16 have hatched, 2 left and they have pipped. Yay, what a day, very happy. My sons Brown Swiss heifer also just calved and had a healthy bull calf. She had to be assisted as the calf had a front leg back, all turned out well.[/quoteWow what a day. My hatch is now done 16 live chicks, 1 hatched and died, one pipped and died, it had a big fluid pocket on its neck, and the one I broke at day 10 or so. 16 live chicks of 19 set. Happy to see that every one I set were fertile. Cows calving, branded calves. Oh, love spring time
