Who's hatching right now?

[aart]

5&6 popped overnight, including the one where I opened a side pip up a bit to make sure chick could breathe.
#7 just hatched and several more pips/zips have appeared.
It's amazing how things can change in just an hour or so...I was not so hopeful at 6am.
Never seen so many side pips(out of about 8 hatches that I've done).
It's getting loud down there.....I can tell when another on has hatched by the pitch of the peeps.

 

[chickens really]

Do you mean hatching right now or incubating?...
I have two incubators going with Call Ducklings...First are due May 22nd and the others are due June 2nd...Plus my Duck Hen Daisy is Due to hatch her Ducklings tomorrow......

Best wishes to all hatching....

Yikes!!
Were they in a turner?
One of mine pipped low in the turner and egg was stuck to turner!
I feel better about being one day off tho

Thank you! Do you know, is there a thread set up on here yet for the help with assisting like there was over on byc? I've been reading through that & had planned to go there for help when it was time for mine to hatch, & of course now on my 1st hatch, things get moved around, making me real nervous, I knew before that all I had to do was hop on with any questions that might come up, now I'm kinda worried. Was really hoping that there would be the same kind of thread over here but I've not found one yet.

We can help you! Many of us have assisted!

Ok so I haven't went into lockdown yet, I'm going to let the humidity drop for today to see if the air cells will get a bit bigger on the bigger eggs, & will candle tonight & lockdown. How can you tell if one has a internal pip? I'm only down to 3 of the frizzles that will hopefully be going into lockdown, I really hope I at least get 1 from them, their the ones I was wanting the most,lol.

Oh yea, when I go into lockdown, do I need to remove the red plug that is on top of the bator?
