Pip

[Jaxx_]

My one hatched this morning, and the second has pipped. It’s taken him a while but he’s getting there. Should I be worried about the membrane being a little yellow?

Nope.

It's hard to do this, even for me who has hatched several hundred...but keep the lid closed and let them do their thing. Your humidity should be around 70% or so.

Congrats on the one!

I wish you a great hatch!

It’s so hard, you feel like you want to help them..or that they are struggling but I guess I gotta just let them be and let nature take over. I guess I’d know for sure if they were in need of help right?

I just got 3 silkie pips today. I'm excited but a little worry it's been years.

They can take 24 hours to hatch after they pip. Most will be out in a few hours, but I would note the time they poked through.

I got one blue silkie and cheeping. The other two eggs are moving a little but I'm not touching anything. It's hard though.

The best advise is sit on your hands and watch with fascination or just walk away and get busy doing something else. It is like watching water boil. If you stare at it, nothing seems to happen. We just finished hatching 11 Barred Rocks the last two days so I feel your anxiety. Also excited for you.
