For those of you who don't know our story. I built my incubator and put a batch of 42 eggs in. I lost 10 of them that didn't develope. Our power went out at day 10 for 8 hours and the temps dropped down to about 84*. Then to my great surprise on day 17 the hatching began!!!

I am now on day 21 with 3 inactive eggs and 1 pipped left in the bator. I did loose one chick

, but the other 27 seem to be lively and happy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the last 4 and I will keep them in the bator until Tuesday.

These two were having a staring contest! The one on the left is blueish with a red face, the one one the right is also a cochin mix with not as much fuzz.

This one was looking at a fly that stopped by for a visit.

Here they are cuddled under the heat lamp. The striped one in the back is named Racer.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my pictures of my babies. They sure are sweet and fun!
 
That's so awesome that you had such a great hatch after the challenges you had!!! They are absolutely adorable!!!

Don't you find it intresting that some hatches turn out great even when things haven't gone well and other hatches are horrible even though you think everything has gone smoothley?

Thanks everyone! I am enjoying them so much! I was sad that we lost one, but I am grateful for the 28 happy healthy babies. My final hatch rate was 67%, which is great, I think! There are still 3 eggs in the incubator that I am leaving there until Tuesday, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to hatch.
