33 Eggs Due to Hatch Oct 25 (Hatch Complete)

[gumpsgirl]

It sounds like you are having an awesome hatch Cyn!

So how many babies do you have there this morning?!?!

The first 3 in your pic are certainly good sized chicks.

Cyn, what size are your Delaware eggs? I set 13 in a 'bator with some EEs. Some of the Delaware eggs aren't quite a large size. They're 1 7/8 oz. The chicks will probably be a little smaller from those?

well??? Whats the count this morning! I wook up to 2 peeps in my incubator. I was crazy though and set them at all different days so I know know why or what will hatch and when. I just couldnt stop sticking eggs in every day till it was full!!!

LOL Great Job Cyn! JEN

They're still coming! #17 finally got the bottom of its shell off and there are 4-5 pipped now that I can see. I'll get pics of the whole batch in a little while-moving slow due to sinus headache today.

Kim, some of my Delaware eggs are from girls who aren't up to speed with their full sizes yet, so I'm getting medium from a couple of ladies on occasion, but most are large and Kira's are jumbo (she is over a year old). In fact, I always look at her eggs in the bator and hope I didn't miss a double yolker, compared to the others. Some of these babies are little tanks, though.

Here are the first 16 babies. They love their surrogate turtle-mom:

Cynthia,
Thanks for the early picture of the three little sweeties- I just love how they look when they first start to dry out and just fall anywhere for a nap!!! Can't wait to see the rest- you have been so devoted!
James, did you sleep, or were you over that 'bator in spirit?

Sensory overload!! How precious! Thank you!

Oh, Cyn, they look wonderful! Little butterballs! Good luck on the remaining ones. Hope that headache leaves quickly!
