UPDATED - SLOW HATCHING

[Jubaby]

I'm on day 20, and today when I got home from work, I have a pip.

My humidity is now up to 73% in a genesis 1588. Is that okay or too high?

I know it takes a while, but nothings happened in the last three hours.

Congrats on the pip.

your humidity is fine.

Your fine...when chicks pip the egg the humidity goes up naturally from the moisture from inside the eggs...

It can take 24 hours from the first pip or cracking of the shell til they zip out....

Thanks - I'm just so nervous! It's going to be a long night.

Checked several times during the night and still nothing new to report.

The hole is a little bigger than yesterday, but no zip.

And no other pips.

The waiting sucks, but its so worth it. Good luck!

Just after I posted - I checked again and saw the zip!

Take a look at my Blue Ameraucana baby
