All 9 hatched! Still got another egg to go that just reached lockdown and 4 OEGB eggs that are a week behind the one on lockdown. (The blue/lavender one is the newest and was a bit premature because it developed later so it's spending the night in the incubator)
Well, it hatched! I was going to post a picture of the pip an hour ago, but it already hatched out! The blue egg has also hatched!! (Brown egg baby is in the 1st picture, and blue egg baby is in the last 2 pictures)
The brown eggs pip is bloody for whatever reason :(

Thank you. No, we only have the one, and not very many people around us raise chicks. We do have a broody hen at the moment, but she's been broody for about 2 weeks, she's only a year old, and this is her first time being broody. We aren't hatching eggs under her because of her inexperience...
I have 10 eggs set in my incubator! 9 are at day 6 today and then 1 is at day 1. One of our green queens (named Cricket) had been acting strangely (at first just slower and was limping, then her limp got better, then she started having trouble breathing, and then she sadly passed yesterday.) and...
