I'm not sure I had no problems with my other hatch I thought maybe the hot weather caused it. Oh sounds like something's happening!! Have they peeped? Yeah you won't be getting anything done I always find myself glued to the inc

What do you mean have they peeped?
I can't hear anything from them, they just shudder every now and then.

I put them into lockdown today, upped the humidity and now am waiting...

It's my first hatch, so I'm a novice, but have read a lot on BYC.

If you hear them peeping it means they've internally pipped. Shuddering is good means they are getting into hatching position! It's so exciting I still get excited everytime I love hatching

Oooh its so exciting!!
Any news?
My newest babies are 2 weeks old now and I'm getting the hatching bug again...! Ha ha

Hatching by numbers:
7 fit in Brinsea
6 made it to lockdown
1 not fertile
5 external pips (so far)

Hatch day isn't till tomorrow, so I think they're all currently early.

The biggest egg hasn't pipped-I'm guessing it took longer to get to temperature...

Is it possible the egg is too big and the chick can't reach both ends to pip?

I'm sure you could if you really wanted to.

I have hatched a mixture of egg sizes together and I find a bigger egg usually produces a bigger chick that's all.
Though some advice is to avoid hatching any eggs that are abnormally large or small. I'm sure it's just taking a little longer as it's a larger egg. Fingers crossed for it.
You stats look really good though for 7 eggs, with 5 of the 6 fertile ones externally pipped!
