who else has eggs cooking???

Checked the bator about an hour ago. Got 1 hatched and drying off with at least four more pipping! If half of them hatch I'll be tickled.


Congrats!!
I have been having them hatch since day before yesterday (day 18!!!) ..have one more drying off and theres one egg thst is still alive but somehow looks to only be a day 18 or so, I have no idea what's going on with it but I'll leave it til it hatches or quits..Its not absorbed the yolk completely so it's either got something going on or somehow was in the only cool spot in the incu??
 
And so it begins. One external pip.
It's a bit early, though (day 19).
Edit - wrong end pip... sort of? Not exactly where it should be, but not quite in the small end either. She pipped through the shell but not the outer membrane.
Edit 2 - Took a pair of tweezers and pulled back a bit of the outer membrane so she could breathe. So far so good. I'll leave her alone until morning.

Loaded pictures but didn't get the text in with them. Not very good at this. Any had a total of 13 americana chicks that were from The cold eggs hatch. 3 of them couldn't walk at first and was afraid of loosing them. Had to help them to hatch. 2 of them are walking great now but one of them has a deformed foot. But she is getting around great now. Not walking normally but walking around well. I'll definately keep these three. This hatch made me nervous.
I still have 3 eggs in incubator but no signs of hatching. This is 7th day from due date. Should I discard them.they don't seem to be rotten but I don't want to take a chance of them bursting in my incubator. Need some opinions.
 
Good luck!

I lost one of the cemanis :( Never externally pipped for some reason. I was thinking I should do a safety hole but I decided to give it until after I got home from shopping and by then it was gone :( From now on I won't be doubting my gut and I'll just do a safety hole. Not like it can hurt anything anyway. So one is externally pipped and the other is internally pipped with a safety hole. Fingers crossed :fl
What do you mean a safety hole?
What happened?
Maybe this will help me if I get into this situation :/
 
12 hours and no progress. Since she can breathe, I'm in no rush. I'll leave her alone for a bit longer.
No other external pips yet, though a few I suspect have pipped internally. Most, if not all of my other hatches needed assistance getting out of their egg, most likely due to humidity fluctuations, so we'll see how this one goes.
