Can anyone jump in? I'm hatching my first batch now we have 2 out of the shell with mom and 4 in the incubator who have peeped.

I miscalculated with my busy life lol. But, the chicken mix that I wanted, that egg has pipped externally today. Not much movement but there's clearly a hole and I can see the beak moving here and there. The 7 duck eggs I have left should be here next week. the chick will be a brown leghorn (hen) and barred rock cross.

OMG OMG OMG so amazing!

So I just came up to go to bed and did my nightly check on the eggs and to my surprise one Dorking egg and the Cochin/Buff Orp egg have pipped! A every now and then there is a chirp! This is day 19! Now I won't be able to sleep!

What breed are you hatching? Do you have other chickens or is this you first foray into chickens altogether?

I have no idea what I'm hatching. I got an assortment from a local person most are easter eggers. I have one lavender something in there, but it's not looking like its going to come out anytime soon and I may have to help its membrane is dry.

I have gotten chicks from the feed store many times, I'm on my third flock, the first two had to be rehomed when I moved a few years ago.

She's here! Exactly on Day 21..Humidity dropped a bit and she already zipped and was getting sticky so i popped the top off for her to do the rest. Yolk fully absorbed with waste in the bottom. Her name will be Omni. She's a 1 outta 1. She will be housed with the other chicks I have until next week when the ducklings come.

Mine are a fun mystery, too. I have a dozen two week old chicks from an orchard where I took my son on a field trip. They turned out to be the only place I could find fertile eggs when I wanted more, so now I have a bunch more in the incubator from them. I love the surprise!

Yeah, the woman I got them from told me some of them should be lavender but we will see. I have one who I have no idea where the air sack is, I have pulled some of the shell off since they were not making much noise, now they are all chirpy pants. One is a dark olive and I can't see through it at all but I hear it inside making noise, not sure when I should intervene since it hasn't pipped yet at all.
