I got pictures of my little splash Silkies... They are so cute. I love the little black one. I will be doing this next year for sure.

Adorable

At least one pipped. Due tonight so right on time.

3 out so far when I woke this morning so hopefully will be near the end in 24 hours!! That’s my general experience anyway....10% hatch early, 75-80% pop like popcorn around hatch day 17, and 10+% late or quitters

Pips equals hatched chicks! I love to see them and is a relief to worry that none will hatch.

Do the ones that pipped and died count for the HAL?

All of the remaining 4 store bought refrigerated fertile eggs are definitely developing along with some more of mine. They were set on the 19th
