Glad you are having a better succes rate?  Did you increase or decrease the humidity?

Decreased to almost no added. Cynthia is in the same area with low humidity and higher altitude. I had one batch with some yolk problems. Decreased temp slightly so they weren't as early, and less humid. No problems with absorption, but last three did stick. Wetted them a bit and they hopped out.

Congrats on your hatches! I'm liking those no stress ones.

Fingers crossed for those turkey pips!

Good luck Caylee!

How long does it usually take a chick to zip?? Then hatch out??

How long does it usually take a chick to zip?? Then hatch out??

It really depends on the chick. I have had some pip, zip and hatch in under an hour and I have had them take close to 24 hours.


I had one showgirl hatch this morning between 5-6am. Not a single thing for the rest of them all day long...not one single pip out of 13 eggs in there...it is sooo hard to be patient. I am going crazy here!!!

 

[CayleeMarie03]

Hahaha. I have another one that is starting to zip.

I am excited!!
