I was really confused! I thought yesterday was day 21!!! Today is day 21 for me!!! 3 have hatched now. The first one was a day early! I've got a pip in another and I am waiting on the others! Can't wait to see what else hatches today!
Well, I still have only three pips. One of the pips was a bloody pip. I figured it wouldn't make it but, it's nearly zipped all the way around though. It will be out soon!

I'm in!! I have 8 blue and black mottled and 4 MFC due to hatch the 6th! I'm hoping this hatch goes better. I had just 1 hatch out of the last batch. It was an older model hovabator. I've got a brand new one this go round so I'm hoping for a better hatch!

I am not believing my eyes!!!!!! It's five days after my original hatch date!!! I work in the shop on Saturdays so my weekends are pretty busy. I had left the incubator just sitting all weekend, still plugged in mind you. I just walked away and put my one lil chick in the brooder and started my...
That is great. Where did you find this information? Would you mind sharing? I would love to read it!!
My Amazon got pneumonia and the vet treated with Baytril by mouth AND she had me put Baytril in a humidifier in her hospital room. It went to work on her pneumonia quick.

Awwww!! They are so cute!! Great pictures! Sorry your eggs from TX didn't hatch. I'm not having good luck here either. Only one has hatched so far. Tomorrow is day 23. We shall see....... On a good note though, I do have two more hatches coming up the 6th and the 12th!
Ok, my first try at pictures!! I will have to take some more in a day or two. It's a splash frizzle cochin. He's kinda dinky looking huh?
