It was day 20 for the brahmas and faverolles at 7:45am this morning. And it turned day 19 for the old english at 4:30pm this afternoon. I put the old english in a day and a half later.

Thank you. I see an egg in the incubator that looks like the chick pipped on the bottom. Im just going to wait and see what happens. I dont want to open the incubator up, and possibly kill the rest. This is the first time ive ever gotten a chick pip on the bottom.
I got another brahma that hatched. 4 out of 16 hatched. 3 more pips. The old english didnt start yet. They will be on day 19 at 4pm this evening.
here are 2 pics of the brahmas. not the best, but I didnt want to open the bator.
