The 1 that pipped, is out...
It's a day and a half early, but the yolk sac was absorbed, so it's good.

It is fine for them to hatch a bit early. Early is better than late for hatching.
I'm collecting eggs to hatch more out, but here's the 4 I have so far. Not quite a week old yet.
At first, I put feed on the bottom, but this morning I introduced the feeder.

They are very sweet!
They don't seem quite as skitterish as past chicks. I handle them once a day, and make sure each one is calm, before returning it to the brooder. I also sing to them when no other human being is in the house. It seems to calm them down.

Handling them really does help with their behavior.
I have some eggs from mine in the incubator right now that are due to hatch on July 17th. I did the first candling on them already and seen the spider veins in some. I had one that had a bloodring in it though, so I tossed that one. I'm using a blue Australorp rooster this time. He is the son of the Splash one in my avatar.
I just know I have 3 little cockerels, and 1 little pullet.
We will see if you are right or not. I hope you get more girls in your next batch.
Yes, I NEED more girls.
