Who is pipping and waiting right now??

If you have one that is leaking and smells bad, take it out of there and discard it. It could explode and contaminate the others.

As of this morning, I had 2 out of 33 pip. This is day 23, but I've had temp issues, so they could be delayed. I would be ecstaticwith a 50% rate, but any chicks are better than none.

I think tomorrow if no more progress has been made by the other eggs, I'll start checking them out.

Fingers crossed!

Hopefully they will be ok. I am sending good hatching vibes your way.

I am no longer hatching or waiting! On Tuesday I had 11 dark brown eggs in the incubator and 8 hatched throughout the day. This morning I shut down the LG and discarded the last eggs, none of which were fertile. This was our third hatch and fifth attempt and we got a 100% hatch of fertile eggs! We were ecstatic! Now we have two brooders going with a total of 24 chicks in them. 6 are about to move to the coop with the big birds and then I will put the new chicks in with the week olds. My homemade incubator is calibrated and ready! Next month we are going to hatch some for a retired gentleman down the road, after that we are hoping to start hatching Delawares!

Okay, it's day 23 on my penedesenca eggs and I officially give up.

Out of 14 eggs, only one pipped, but died in the shell. I didn't even realize it had pipped because it was on the bottom side of the egg. I cracked it open and man, that chick looked big. I figured it was too big for the shell.

I am on day 20 of seven eggs from my daughters mutts and two pipped this morning but nothing yet. I just checked on them again and I can hear peeping so I know atleast one is ok. Then I have six Jersey Giant/Splash Cochin that went in on the 25th. I can't wait to see them. Although the JG were in with a white leghorn for a week so not sure who the daddy is..........

kimbpara I am sorry they didn't make it.

bbRedMom, anything on your eggs?

Good luck everyone on your hatches.
