Get the poor things out of there! They're packed tight!

5 in the brooder and now 5 drying out before I snag them

Our first one hatched a few hours ago, doing great! He was climbing all over the other eggs, active and fully dry, so I moved him to the brooder. Still alone in there, but temp is 99.5 F and holding. I make a little tent with a suspended frame and soft cloths in the brooder, and he's snuggled up under it, sleeping quietly. Meanwhile, three external pips in the incubator, and five more with no signs of activity yet. Impatiently waiting, but need to go to bed!

This is our first time doing a full set, I can see a bigger one in our future lol

This is how it starts!

My 3 d’Anver eggs are due to start pipping tomorrow and I keep checking them to see if they’ve internally pipped yet I just worry so much in these last hours that they will end up DIS I really want all three to make it. They look strong so far based on the veining, but I’m so paranoid

My other set of bantam buff Brahmas isn’t due for another week and I’m sad because I only had 6 to start with and two weren’t fertile and one quit on day 2 or 3 so I only have 3 left, and statistically with shipped eggs I should lose one or two between day 10 and hatch…which would make me so sad :-(

5 left to go in the incubator. 1 external pip from last night, 2 look to have drawn down, 1 possible DIS, that one has been iffy.
