Out of 30 eggs that made it to lockdown, I have had 22 chicks hatch and two chicks die after pipping. Of the remaining 6 eggs, 1 has a pip. *happy dance* I hope everyone else is having great hatches!
Thirty eggs went into lockdown yesterday (Wednesday) at noon. This afternoon, two are pipping! I've had early hatches this year, even though I'm checking the temps with several thermometers and it appears to be spot-on in all incubators. My internet is down at the moment so I'll be posting...
