Remember this guy from day 8 on the candling page?

Well, here's how it all turned out on day 23.

Pipped a nice section

Another angle

Now it starts to really push

It gets a wing out

And finally the head unfolds - whew

Rock 'n roll around the incubator
(still attached to the yolk here)

Dry off a bit, then into the brooder for a nap

Dry and fluffy now, time to start exploring

Thanks for posting these. I learned so much from this site so that we could incubate our eggs successfully. We had a big day today--one chick hatched mid-day, and another tonight about 11:30. You can see our first one hatching here: http://learningtable.blogspot.com/2012/04/chicken.html

i currently made a homemade incubator and had one hatch a day early and the other a day after neither live but i notice it was hard to come out the egg shell.i have a water tray in their but i must be doing something else wrong my temp is set right and i been turning 3 times a day but am i supposed to be spraying the eggs to.
