I had my first pip this morning and right now I have 4 little babies, 2 more have pipped and I am praying that the rest come tomorow. Oh mine are a day early so here on Day 20.

Kinda but like sometimes I candle some that dont look like they have anything in them and then once I threw one and there was a baby chick

Wait till day 15 and try to candle again. You should be able to tell if there is anything growing in them by then. There is a great thread on here up at the top of the page about candleing. Shows what you should see or could see. I know mine were a little different than those pics so I left them until the next candle to see for sure that nothing was growing or it stopped.

So far I was able to pick out 2 quitters which stopped really early on and one non starter. And this is my first time hatching. If you have any doubt about the egg you are looking at just put it back.

Good luck on your hatch.

I candle alot on day 7, but you can't really see anything, so this time I'm going to wait until day 10.

I have 6 babies now. 5 Cocks and 1 female. This is day 23 and there are 7 eggs left. I left them and I get rid of them this evening if I have to. How long should I wait to see if they will hatch?
