I have one pipping right NOW!

And another that is close and a goose that is close too. Probably another day or two for them though, but today I should have another one!

Congrats to all and Happy Easter. I woke up to 3 chicks in the incubator and 1 died in the shell. Part of life. Waiting for the other 18 to hatch. 18 to go, 7 hatched, 1 deceased, not to bad so far. I think I had an incubator overload and I do not think it was good. Live and learn, shame on me if they do not hatch.

Today is day 28 for me and i have no pips

I had a tragic thing happen my beloved bunny *Mary Anne* passed away she became ill suddenly.
I found her this afternoon bleeding from her private's and had to put her down.
I'm beside myself with grief at losing her

I don't know if my Call Ducks will hatch or not they could be late due to some low temps

I will check in soon as i know one way or the other

oegblady - give them time until they start to smell. I have had them hatch up to 35 days (that was one that I did not notice had not hatch). Then to my surprise, I was wondering why I had a duck and none due yet, there it was.

oegblady....sorry to hear about your loss.

think positive about your hatch! Sometimes they are a little slow.

I had two separate batches of quail (i know, not ducks, but birds and hatching similarities) that I put in the bator 10 days apart....then I got em mixed up a bit. I had one batch in cartons, the other not, and the bator got bumped (i am VERY clumsy)...a couple fell out. I thought I had thr correct ones...NOPE!

I leave em till they smell anyhow...but six full days after the hatch, I had a couple extra quail running around my bator!!! They werent due for another 7 or so days! ...I cant imagine quail being seven days early since they only incubate for 15 ish!

Keep em till they stink...then you will KNOW without a doubt that you didn't toss em too early...one less reason to kick yourself!

Good luck!

Thanks barnwife but how long till they stink ??

When they die in the egg it will eventually start stinking.
