I have my first pip...

I tell ya what, that will wake ya up faster than any amount of coffee, LOL... It is just so exciting. This is my first time incubating. The chicks aren't due til tomorrow, is it normal for them to hatch early? I know my incubator was probably a degree too warm, could that be why?

We have only ever used hens to incubate, but ours generally start hatching on day twenty, even sometimes on day nineteen. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. You should post pics when they hatch and are all fluffy.

I have taken a ton of pics and will definitely post some when they dry out.. This has been the best medicine for my recovery, after having a hysterectomy...
