What is the earliest you've had an egg pip naturally?

I'm waiting on my het pied x het pied clutch to hatch. They're on day 45 and to say the least I'm getting antsy! I'm definitely not going to cut them, but I find myself checking the incubator obsessively!

So I'm wondering, what's the earliest you've ever heard of an egg pipping by itself?

Bumping this old old thread as it got no replies and I'm interested to know the answer and cant find it anywhere.

Someone on here said they had a Day 49er at one point, I think. I can't for the life of me remember who it was though. I know I'll feel stupid for forgetting once someone chimes in with the correct name.

I personally had a Clutch this Year pip at day 52.

Me! :D

Not sure if it was me you were referring to, but we had our first clutch this year pip naturally at 49 days. All hatchlings were out of the egg on day 51. The eggs were incubated at a steady 89 degrees for the entire incubation period. The early piper was 53grams, clutch yielded 4.2 hatchlings.

So far day 55.

Now I'm curious, did you get any baby pieds out of the clutch?

Day 54 for us this year. Incubated at a constant 88 degrees. Made us a little nervous as our babies usually pip on day 58. But all are good and healthy.

First ever clutch pipped at day 53. Incubated at 88-89.
