Okay that is it.

I am not going to look in there again for 2 days.

I get up this morning to...

First one actually looks like a breaded showgirl.

Second pip has made some improvements. And 2 additional pips.

They really don't want me to watch.

what kind of incubator are you using? sill air? forced air (with a fan)? DIY?

I have 4 pipped and the one that started to zip did not make much progress last night so i am a little worried but i have the new pip so who knows these are silkies

8 out of the shell... a few more trying to get out so far

 

[Roxannemc]

I'm back. And I can still walk a straight line.

I was right, they were being shy.

First pip has a pea size hole open now.
Second pip is pushing at the shell, can see it moving.

Both are chirping.

WHOOT

hope they are out now.. or soon!

Two out, 2 working and 1 pipped!

3 nothing yet.

We will be done or on to the next thread with current setting for a hatch.LOts of of us will be setting again i am sure and plentyu of good help on your first hatch.
.
Would like you to join up there too so we can watch our eggs together as the weeks progress..One thread starts "Here we go again! Setting August 28-Sept 8th" Anoter i thinkends in YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO!! but notsure of the dates.

OH Jamesh ..that is common problem the swinging temps and humidity
Try and keep it under 103 that a little too high
.If you see its too high open the lid and get some of the heat out so it doesnt harm the eggs...then turn it down lower and wait until the light comes on see waat temp it comes on ...if comes on still too high turn it lower. Always wait a 1/.2 hour to ajust again though as it takes that long to settle to the right temp after you turn it up. ..
Try not gt go over 101 tops.
Better to be a little low than too high.
You might try putting it in a closet or some place there is no draft at all.My first 2 hatchs mind did that badly .Didnt think i had a draft in any way... saw someone on BYC say they put it in their closet 3rd hatch tryed it and worked... settled down well!!.
GOOD LUCK!
