ROFL, the stop me from staring I have made phone calls, cleaned counters, washed flors, folded laundry...etc. The house never looked better and the boogers still haven't pipped.

 

[mrsengeseth]

Hi Everyone,
Here's an *UPDATE* I have so far 5 chicks, Oh I'm so Egg-cited

So yesterday was the actual hatch date. How long can chicks still hatch? I know don't open the bator,

everything I've read they say the chicks are fine for up to 72 hours.....is that right? After I remove the chicks do you think the left over eggs in the bator might still hatch out?

Thanks ahead of time for any info you guys can offer a newbie!

My first PIP ever!!! I have to go wipe the nose prints of my bator window!

 

[mrsengeseth]

still a whole lotta nuthin here.

Ohhhh! I am sorry to hear that you don't have any pips yet. Did your temperatures run low during your incubation time? Don't give up hope yet!

 

[mrsengeseth]

I have a feeling it ran low, i know it didn't spike ( i have kept a close vigil the whole time, as much as I could) at all so I think there's hope still.

 

[chicken stalker]

mine ran low for the first few days...so I am surprised I have a pip today I was expecting a late hatch.
