We have a pip!


I put the eggs into lockdown yesterday, raising the humidity to 70-75% and removing the egg turner.  Remember, the chickies are aligning themselves inside the egg so that they can "pip" into the air cell!

As of today, Tuesday, day 19 of development, we have one egg that has pipped through the shell!  I am watching the humidity to make sure it doesn't spike if this little guy hatches early.  I am hoping we will have lots of eggs hatching during Thursday's class!
