    Hatched. Too cute!

    Hatched. Too cute!

    My first Hatcher! Hatched at 10:30 this morning. Chatty little soul. Tomorrow is day 28 so he’s early. Three others have pipped the shells but two haven’t. Not much movement from them that I can see so a bit worried. He was chirping yesterday. He’s keeps hugging one of the eggs.

    Squeaking

    Now I’m having a panic. They have only been in lockdown four hours and three of them have pipped their shells. Isn’t that too soon? The humidity can’t be high enough yet

    Just joined as incubating duck and goose eggs for the first time. Duck eggs on day 6 and goose eggs on day 3. Any tips appreciated. Have just candled duck eggs and think one has gone wrong but will check again on day ten.
