Six eggs remaining. End of Day 20. One bantam egg pipped about 18 hours ago...still waiting....there is some movement within the last hour....One brown egg which probably will not hatch due to the candling on day 18 which revealed a less than dark mass....Four green EE eggs still to go, one has just pipped...It's hard to wait when there are three all fluffy sitting in there...

Yikes! The green EE egg zipped and hatched while I was posting the 4th chick! I wasn't ready for that as the others took HOURS after pipping.
