I know that it is hard to do, but please try to be patient!

Just for future reference how long after internal pip does it do an external pip?

I think that it varies and depends on how much work that the chick has to do to get out. Some of the shells are sometimes thicker than others. They get tired and take rest breaks, and then continue on.

Thanks. @junebuggena wrote on another thread. Up to 24 hours from internal to external and up to 24 hours from external to hatch

has anyone ever seen this before? I am pretty sure this egg is dead, along with 4 others in my incubator. I was going to leave them to makensure, but in worried it might be bacteria that could harm my other eggs? Im not sure. But im sad. I just cleaned my incubator and thermometer and water cups with vinigar (hope thats okay to use) and im hoping for the best. I have one due on the 18th, and i need that one to live! Im down to 5 eggs out of 12. And 4 still have a long way to go.

Could it be because they were stored in the fridge?


If anyone has any advice. It would be very much appreciated.

Hi Chelsea,

I dont think eggs that have been in the fridge can be incubated... I think the coldness kills the embryo. Is this right @RavynFallen

Don't worry we all make mistakes and we just have to learn from them. If none hatch this time try again until you do!
