Just the one for me. Of the three eggs, one died after pipping, The other one it turns out never developed. Dang, that's one expensive chick! 🙄 I guarantee you that won't stop me from doing it again.

Terrific news!

Success and heartbreak. I found what I thought was the zipped was actually the hatched egg cupped over another egg. The egg that had pipped looks like it died in progress. That new chick sure is cute, I've decided I'll work it all out tomorrow.

WHAT A GREAT DAY! :wee :jumpy:jumpy:jumpy Everyone keep posting pictures!

So far today I'm at one chick, one zip, one pip.

I have a separate maternity area for mine too. I built a box last year attached to my run, and then I section it off with cheap plastic fencing that extends up to the top of the run. It makes it quite handy especially for chicks that I purchase, they get to socialize with the other chickens and...

Babies babies babies! :wee I took a peek under my very angry hen this morning, I see a zipped egg! Oddly, I feel very proud. I was too scared to do a thorough check, I'll leave that for later.

Last night I would have told you No, don't worry. How are things looking this morning?

:fl here's hoping for you! The last days are eternal, aren't they?

That is so awesome! What a very cute chick you have there. It looks very put out, maybe it liked it better in the shell! :D What kind?

I'm going to go look under mine RIGHT NOW! I'll have to get out my boat to go in the backyard, we got a ton of rain yesterday/last night.

I have 3 out of 9 shipped eggs. During week 2 one of my hens went broody. I pulled them from the incubator and have them under her. I must say a much better way of hatching. I've not candled since, I'm letting nature take it's course.

Well a big congrats to you! I love my speckled Sussex. I hope for a great hatch and can't wait to hear!

Everyday this week I wondered "how am I going to last until Friday?" . This one week has seemed like a year.

:wee :jumpy

That's an incredible hatch rate for shipped eggs! What are you hatching?

How's everyone doing with their May first hatch? Anybody with an early pip?

I think I have a good reliable broody, I'm seriously contemplating moving my eggs out of the 'bater and underneath her. So far she's done a good job sticking to the nest. I have a number of dud eggs under her and I thought I'd make the switch tonight.

How's everyone doing with your hatches? Anyone else candled? @JacinLarkwell @gimmie birdies Any other May 1 due dates

Well, I really really felt like crying today. Not usually so tied up and eggs or chicks considering they die at the blink of an eye but I went ahead and took a peek at my eggs and found absolutely nothing. Then my neighbor Terri happened to check in on me and said she'd be over to take a look...
