What is going on? PLEASE HELP!! Update: Early half lockdown

[joe17]

You said that the cracked egg has a chick in it?? I bet its gonna be easy for it to hatch! lol

I'm not so sure, it's covered over 50% of the shell with wax. Need to keep a lose eye on that one. Will do a quick candle again tonigt, and until they internally pip, I think.

what does an internal pip look like?? I would love to see pictures of your when they hatch

You see the beak poking inot the air sac, but no dent in the shell. I know this, but I haven't seen it yet, as I have been too scared to open the incubator in lockdown yet! Candled end of day 17 last time and they didn't pip until during day 21 so missed internal pipping. Will try to get pics, will be posting them on the thread about setting memorial day weekend...

Will certainly post up pics of all the babies when they get here though!!!

(So excited!)

Looks like you did as much as possible. Sorry about it, FYI, I would have burst out crying had I found out I couldn't save my precious eggs.

 

[SarahIrl]

??????! They are ALL still alive!!

Ok, my money is on tomorrow. Pip tomorrow. I am kind of at a head start to anyone else that wants to take a bet as I heard tapping form inside the bator today
