who else has eggs cooking???

Have had an active egg peeping and shaking off and on all day today, came home tonight and another was pipped. I don't know how you guys do it. I forced myself to get up here to bed and not watch.
 
Today is day 22 for us and nada is happening (no peeping, pipping,rock and rolling, Nothing). I'm so worry they won't hatch. We started off with 4 eggs, all were growing great. Then on day 14 I was candling them and opps I dropped one and killed the baby. I felt horrible for days about that one. Now we are down to three eggs. On day 18 they were all alive as far as I could tell. Now we just sit here and hope and pray that they will hatch. It's bothering me that I haven't seen any movement from them at all. Should I just leave them on lockdown until day 25, just in case? They don't smell bad, so I guess that could be a good sign.

Id probably go a couple more days..... after that, Id look to start another batch. Hard to say what would have stopped them if they all looked good at day 18
 
First out in the night is the Andi/black sex link cross. It's blue. Two more eggs also pipped in the night, the Austra egg and the mystery white egg which is either Andi, hamburg, or buttercup. My other BSL egg that has been rocking since yesterday still hasn't pipped and he chirps to me. Hope he has progress when I get out of work. Hate having to leave but just a real short day.

I candled my eggs today, and it appears that all 9 from my birds are duds. (starting day 10 today) The good news is that most of my shipped eggs that are in there look like something is happening.
 
I believe I put 9 chicks to bed tonight in their new housing. Ended up a quick grab as they were pecking, fighting, and pushing other eggs inside of the broken shells. 6 more eggs pipped and I'll expect them likely hatched by morning. 9 still no signs but some occasionally wiggle. Humidity is running high and so was temp after chicks were born. Jumped from 70 to 86%. Another reason for removal. Praying nobody shrunk. We'll see what happens. 8 chicks are blue, 1 is not what it's supposed to be. Thinking it's buttercup/polish.
