My runners had internally pipped 2 days ago now so I decided to make a safety hole no bigger than the tip of a pen. Will make me feel at ease knowing it can breath. Seems pretty active from what I can see the veins are hair thin so shouldn't be to long now. There's a couple like this but this one has internally pipped the longest! I'll check up on it later

Runners are so cool I have 6 of them and they are my clowns I love them to pieces. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Hi guys So I have a set of eggs that has been hatching since yesterday evening, I'm on day 20, I have silky, cream legbar & Orpington. I've had 2 of my silkies to hatch & a few of the other breeds. My concern is with my other silky eggs, when I candled them I didn't see any movement or anything, they are full, I mean you can tell there is a chick in there, is there anything I can do or is it too late for them? TIA

If your only on day 20 I'd say give them more time. I had Chocolate Orpingtons hatch last week on day 21 like clock work and the last 2 are just hatching today talk about nail biting. All these eggs are under 3 different hens.[all started at the same time] So patience is the key.

It takes sometime to see the chick moving in full eggs too have to candled and watched the egg in all directions. Hows the air cell look?

The air cells look pretty good, these are shipped eggs also. I had to help one yesterday it had pipped on the side & I gave it a small hole to breathe & let it be for over 24 hrs, it was early, but I ended up having to help it quite a bit, but it's out & good now. I have a cream legbar that has done the same thing, I'm giving it more time cuz it just pipped during the night.

Mine were shipped eggs too, Bless their hearts amazing we get any thing out of the eggs after the wild ride they must go through.

Good for you helping and getting them safely here. I had one pip on the side and it didn't make it.

I have araucana eggs that I'll be trying after I get done with this hatch & their my own eggs so hopefully I've have a better hatch rate. I was really wanting some frizzles but not sure I'm going to end up with any out of this batch.
