Who is pipping and waiting right now??

[DawnSuiter]

6 pips!!!
including our BBS Egg

 

[goatkeepers]

Now I am really freaking out- should I already have pips as well?? Day 20 here but nothing. I knew I would get my hopes up for nothing.

I'm gonna be devastated if none of mine hatch.

Congrats to you guys that have pips and hatches!! Send me some of them good vibes!

Edited to add: body, what is your humidity like now? Mine is 71%. Is that ok?

 

[DawnSuiter]

goatkeepers, your humidity sounds fine, just perfect.
This is my FIRST hatch ever, I fear my temps were a touch too high.. I had 3 thermometers all reading something different... I kept the humidity low during incubation, and am having trouble getting it up now... I didn't learn to use my water trays well before I did this...

So.. I've actually been using a steamer to add humidity & warmth to the entire room they are in... I used an extra bedroom as the hatchery. So.. the room itself is pretty warm & moist, but inside the bator I'm still reading 63-71% depending on which hygrometer I look at..

I don't know... but just hang in there.. breeds, setting, incubation temps & humidity all play a role... this is early.. if it makes you feel any better, i'm actually starting to worry about mine because they are early...

 

[goatkeepers]

Lol, that does make me feel a tad better, thanks!

I just hope that at least a couple will hatch! Of course I have a tough day at work tomorrow, that day they are due to hatch.

I should have taken the day off! I'll be stressing the whole time.

Off to check on them again...

I have cortunix quail hatching and hatched and also some mille fluers, bob whites, gambel X bobwhite, turkey and other chickens not sure what they are.

3 hatched so far, 2 black frizzle bantam cochins and 1 partridge bantam cochin. One more is pipped but not zipping yet. The other 2 have been "maybe's" for about a week. Saddle aircells, high temp spike once, etc. At least they don't look like "one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eaters" !!

I was afraid of that with that high temp spike. So far, so good...

I have Giant Blue cochins pipping right now, one has already came all the way out.

Seller said I should have 50% blue, 25% black and 25% splash.

Have 23 eggs in the bator, looks like I have 14 pipping

I have a broody sitting on ? for count and ? for what may hatch out of those eggs. I had ordered hatching eggs and wanted my 2 broodies to sit them. I gave each one some eggs just to keep them happy until the ones I ordered showed up. All of my chickens were running together and all but one rooster was sold. Now unless that rooster was Super Rooster, I know he couldn't have taken care of all the girls. Since all the ordered hatching eggs fit under one hen, I put all the odd ball eggs under the other hen. I really didn't expect any to hatch since fertility was in question. They are to hatch tomorrow. This afternoon I went out to the coop and ma hen was just a talking away and I hear peeps coming from under her. What a surprise. I will leave her alone until tomorrow and then see what is under her. The ordered eggs are to hatch in a week. I hope they do as well.

Oh and pictures of my meaties and...
