2nd fuzzy hatched early this a.m. 3rd and last was pipping when I left for work. First hatch for me and 50 per cent on shipped eggs. The brooder box is set up and I will put them all in at lunchtime or this evening when I get home from work. Thanks for asking!!!! Such a miracle.

May I jump in? I set 6 buff orp eggs in my new Brinsea mini. We are due on Friday the 13th. Yay. ;(. Candled tonight with my totally inadequate flashlight and I saw only 2 had some darkness in them. But 2 out of 6 shipped eggs with air sacs that looked wonky as all get out would be good with me...
