Marty. So in your opinion if they are still lively let them go?
When would youstep in? They almost all have an ext pip. Or atleast a dent in the shell
Would tou open it a lil so you know they can breath?

If they are lively, Id let them go at it, honey. They've done this under birds for years before we all intervened. Their odds are better alone under a reliable hen every day of the week, than in our bator with us. I would absolutely check them in the morning, and if most have made any progress at all, I'd leave them. Remember, patience is a very good thing for the babies. Better to arrive a day late than die from an early assist.

Marty i agree im just super nervous.
I know calls have soooo many issues. There are 2 that im worried about
The rest seem to be good.
One ext pipped then shifted an is tryin to make another pip higher up the shell
And the other hasnt ext pipped and doesnt seem too vigerous
Those 2 may get moved inside
Maybe im just over reactingg

Why don't you give those two until morning. Just turn the eggs over to the universe, and in the morning if those two still have issues, pop them in the bator.

Lol thanks marty. I really hope i just have babies in the am it would make me much less stressed

It might be useful for you to practice the art of "letting go". You maybe a little to emotionally tied to your eggs to make the best decisions for them. When its life or death, depending upon our decision, decide with a cool distanced head, not a painful aching heart.

Tomorrow, check them, then wait a few minutes before going back and doing anything. Give yourself a moment to distance yourself emotionally before the decision making process. I let my concern for goose eggs that I shouldn't even be expecting anything out of yet influence "me to candle those poor eggs like 5+ times this afternoon. Now, that's a little unreasonable. I know how you feel, though. Its too easy to say "it's THE day and I want them here NOW!

 

[country_girl011]

Well technically they are due tomarrow
So no complete panick yet
I justdont want to lose one if i could have saved it had i steped in

 

[Marty1876]

I understand, but some patients insist on dying, just remember that. Its no reflection on you if one is weak. Maybe it was a bad sperm donor problem..... (LOL)

But i cant accept defeat ive been waiting too long on these little ones.
