Gah! I’ve got an overachiever that is pipped already. What the heck!!! I hadn’t raised humidity yet. Doing now. Should I be super worried??

I wouldn't be worried. The humidity goes up some naturally as they crack their shell.

Ok, but it was at like 20% when it pipped. Still think it’s alright?

I think it'll be alright. I think it's sudden drops in humidity that causes problems. All you can do is wait and see.

Haha no truer statement! We will find out tomorrow. And it seriously could have only been pipped for an hour or less so hopefully it’s all good. I have it up at 60% now.

Well, 40 hatched so far...2 eggs to go. One has external pip already. Had to take the chicks out because they were showing signs of stress. Little happy campers this morning!
If those 2 eggs hatch, did hear peeping, it's 100% hatch!!

Thanks!! Yes, they are adorable, just can't get enough of them!
Yes, I am trying sand this time. Had them on hemp bedding last time and I just wasn't happy. My neighbor and also a breeder said she has been using sand. So I am giving it a try. The chicks seem to be happy.

I checked my eggs and all 10 look great. Let's hope I get some Cochin/Giant crosses so I can have more feathered legs running around.
