Today is day 18 and I have a pip

[ruthie]

When I got up this morning, I was going to move my eggs to the hatcher. Well I have one pip and it is rocking and rolling like crazy. I set the eggs on the 11th before I went to bed around 10 pm. These are shipped eggs. I wonder if they started to develop before they got here? Can I move them to the hatcher? or just leave them alone and see if any more pip. I had not increased the humidity(it is up in the hatcher). They were all turned yesterday. I hope I haven't ruined my hatch.

If you have a pip already, it may just be an early bird or your temp could have been a little high which would make them hatch early. I would move them to the hatcher right away and prepare the brooder. Good luck with your hatch.

Thanks
That is what I will do. Than I think I will call my daughter and go to some yard sales. That way I won't be checking on them every 5 minutes.
