Having troube trying to get my pics posted. All ten that pipped have now hatched and are in brooder. Did eggtopsy on the one that did not pip. Not sure why it quit after lockdown not malformed at all. 10 out of 16 set is much better than my first hatch. I'm happy with it. Thank you all. It has...
We have 6 littles and 4 still trying hard. Set 16: 4 infertile 1 quit day 6 or 7. 11 went to lockdown. One egg shows nothing at all. The hatch chicks played a mean game of egg bowling before taken out of bator and I saw no pips on that egg. Guessing it died during lockdown. Hoping these last...
I think the waiting is getting to my 8yr old. He keeps asking me to help. I keep telling him no. We still need to wait a while. Ihope I get some zipping this evening. They pipped this morning and have been kinda quiet until about 30 min ago then the cheeping really got loud. I'm trying to keep...
I have four more hours at work today and it is causing me stress. I can hardly wait to get home to sit vigil over the incubator. My poor hubbie is tired of texting me that no changes. I have bugged him every hour on the hour after hearing cheeps late last night. No pips this morning no rocking...
I finally caught up on reading posts. I miss 2 days and spent three trying to catch up. Of my 16 originally set I have 11 locked down. A whole lot of shakin' going on in the bator. :ya
Got behind on reading. Holy moly took my forever to catch up. Looks like 12 of my 16 are still going strong. Took a quick peek right now. I'm super happy to be part of this great informative community. Thanks for all the great info all.
I have 12 that look to be going strong and 4 that are looking to be duds. two of the four are kinda porous. Thought about not setting them but had high hopes that they would develop. Super excited to be hatching again.
Super excited to set 15 mix eggs from my four layers. My roo is a hatchery GLW and girls are RSL. My 6 and 8 year olds have been talking about it all week. They will be home most of the time to watch the process. Hope to get a good hatch on New Years Day! Happy hatching to all!

We won't be putting her back. She will live a happy life inside. I'm looking for a playmate for her. Hubby won't be happy but I won't let her suffer being brutalized either.
Thank you for the response. All three bigger girls are bullying the smaller one. We have decided to make the smaller girl into a house pet. She is loving all the attention of course. DH only stepped on her once today so far. Lol. She follows him around clucking at him now so he knows she is...
