November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

Thanks I will. Just to finish this off, the three under the hen hatched on day 21 and all healthy but the other 4 in the incubator still have not pipped and it is day 23. Still seeing movement in shell so hanging tight.

My second pullet started laying two days after the other one. Her very first egg was a double yolker I believe (haven't cracked it open). They are the green eggs in the carton - the darker green is from the black/red hen.
