They aren't pipping! Am I worried for nothing!?

[sandesnow]

Thank heavens for this thread. I am on day 21 (I set at 9 pm, so will hit day 22 in about 6 hours). One egg has pipped (noticed it at 9 am this morning), the others are still cozy in their shells. But the one that has pipped seems to look a little wrong positioned, as the pip is near the center of the side of the egg.

I will just keep telling myself to be patient, it doesn't need help! Why is this so hard? lol

I've still got 6 that haven't hatched yet. I know they aren't dead because they are chirping. Yes it is very hard!

Patience everyone patience

Good luck to you all
I fully understand how you are all feeling. I generally resort to getting a chair and cushion to sit and watch. Not that it makes anything go any faster

One of my chicks head is hanging to one side!!! What's wrong with it and what should I do!?

It may straighten out on it's own. You might look up Wry neck, or crazy chick disease, or vitamin E encephalopathy. sometimes this issue is caused by vitamin deficiency. The easiest way to treat, and a good "to do" any way b/c it won't hurt any of them, and will actually be beneficial to all is to get some Poultry Nutri-drench for their water. When you take the one with the crooked neck out, you can put a drop of the nutridrench to the side of it's beak instead of dipping the beak in the water when they go in the brooder.
