One bantam chick out!! It heard a serama chick I put inside the other incubator (the little chick was cold as the barn's temperature dropped the incubator is toasty warm) and decided to come play

3 chicks out and lots more to go.

Once they've all hatched and dried I'll be asking for help to ID what I got.

Ok, I guess I won't panic then about my ducks that have been pipped for 5 hours and nothing. Had two turkeys hatch bang bang, but the ducks just been sitting there pipped and not doing anything.

Ducks can take a couple of days. They are known to be slow from pip to zip.

Remember, if there is no picture it did not really happen!

Congratulations!

I set my eggs at noon on the 25th and I already have two eggs with pips. I didn't want them to hatch early! I can hear the peeping. Today was supposed to be lockdown.

I have 5 out. No other pips. This poor little guy, "Lovebug",was one of the first to pip yesterday with a saddle cell and got stuck. Just had to unpeel it from the shell with hot water. It's siblings were moved to the brooder when I opened bator to deal with it.

I am loving all of these pics! Wish I had more space. I would hatch every week!

Candled eggs looking great. They are due to hatch Tuesday so that my daughter's class can watch them hatch. I grabbed a variety of colors and sizes to show them.

I finally figure out were my chicken hatching addiction started.
I was raised in San Diego (all City no chickens) But you all talking about the kids loving to watch the chicks hatch I remember at the San Diego Zoo in he children's zoo they hatched chicks there for children to watch..(the zoo was home away from home I spent a lot of time there.I spent a lot of time waiting and watching for the chicks to hatch.. Always little yellow chicks.
