if they have been on the cool side they will take a bit longer to hatch. don't give up yet!

new flock members...

2nd chick made "HER" appearance at about 1am, could not sleep knowing my cats were waiting for her. They are peeping away in the brooder. The remaining 4 were questionable so I am going to leave them till Sunday and see what happens. Cross your fingers for me that I get one or 2 more.

2nd pip of the evening! had to move 1st one into the brooder (not happy chick) she was trying to smash her sibling =(

my 1st one is out and drying off in the bator but "SHE" is squirming around so much I may have to move her to the brooder box. thoughts?

they almost always need help to get out. just be sure to give it as much time as possible to absorb the egg sack. If you have to assist, go really slowly. do a bit, then stop - repeat

it's offical! this 1st pip!!

anyone have any early birds?

it's the coldest day of the year so far here in Central Texas. Taking the kiddo to the doc this morning, maybe there will be something in the bator when we get back. I pick up my 5 Buff Orpington's this afternoon from the feed store just hope they have some Marans to keep company with.

I don't need anymore chickens!!!! (well that are not Marans anyway)

I made a huge mistake!!! I went to my local feed store (needed chick food) and they have CHICKS! So freaking cute. I ended up buying 5 buff orpington pullets from the order they are getting on Thursday. At least my marans chicks will have friends

yup, 2 black copper roo's and a blue copper pullet

WHAT!? Why are you hatching more? I want my own room!

I think I am seeing things

I hope it's not wishfull seeing but I think 2 may have piped! will check again in a few hours, they are not at the best angle to see thru the cover.

well, the turner is removed and the shelf liner is in (good grip for babies on shiny bator bottom) fingers crossed everyone!

Tomorrow is lockdown! Fingers crossed for me! the last hatch I only got 3 chicks out of 7 (shipped Marans eggs) and of those I think 2 are boys one is a lovely Blue Copper Marans Pullet, she is pretty cute post pictures and updates as we hatch - so egg-cited!

interesting idea, but wont work on my little Brinsea

I was taking to Brenda at Littlepeddlers Marans, she said I should leave the eggs in until day 24 just to be sure. She has been a great help. I only removed the 1 egg that was totally clear. 6 more in the bator, fingers crossed!

morning of the 3rd starts lockdown for me.
