Valentine's Day Hatch

Yesterday the newest member of our family (puppy) decided to taste the electrical cord going to the computer I normally use. Sigh. It's gonna take a week for the new power cord to arrive. Sure do hope puppy got a jolt of strong juice so he never tries that again!

Pips??? We have pips all ready????

I have a chick! :celebrate I had gotten my hova bator back, and was going to plug it in, so it can heat up, and add water, when my mom said that she hears something peeping. I quickly looked in the LG, and saw that the mutt egg had zipped part way, but it had the worst case of shrink wrap and stickiness I have ever seen. The humidity was about 20 percent. I had to help the chick out, and got the hova fired up, and water added. It was at 97 degrees with 87 percent humidity within minutes! :woot Then moved the chick and 3 Tomaru eggs in the hova. As I was moving the Tomaru eggs, I felt one tapping the shell! :ya
 
I am up to 6 project chocolate Ameracauna chicks hatched, with 5 more eggs to go, and 4 of those eggs are pipped!!!!

Still nothing over here. . . No peeps, no pips. I'm expecting to wake up at night hearing a few peeps though. I usually have pips by day 20, sometimes one or two chicks out, but, rarely anything any earlier.
 
These are two of my 6 Ameracauna hatchlings! (these were actually due yesterday!) These are project chocolate Ameracaunas. Chick on the left is black, the chick on the right is a chocolate pullet!
