Set eggs on 3/18 who's with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Page 28

Yes I have babies!  

I woke at 5 AM this morning to LOUD peeping - probably not smart to put the incubator right next to the bed!  I couldn't resist peeking in - one little yellow chick must have just hatched.  

I left at about 6:30, at 9ish my husband sent me a message that one more had hatched.  I just got home, there are still only the 2 hatched, but at least 3-4 more have pipped.  

I will post pics soon!

I have Russian Orloffs, Wheaten Marans, Silkies/Showgirls, and lots of EE and OE's.

Here are my 2 little early birds...they are wobbly but I don't think their legs are splayed, toes are straight, so far so good...

I hear lots of peeping so hopefully more will be on their way soon!
