Awesome! Cochins are my favorite breed (don't know if I have already mentioned that yet haha) but my favorites are bantam cochins!

First pip in the eggs this evening! I think there are 12 left, not bad for shipped eggs.

First two hatched, lots more pipped

I have about 12 eggs that are EPd! for lots of ducklings!

9 total are hatched right now, 7 are out of the incubator 2 are still in

I have 3 ducklings so far! I am expecting 9 more. I believe 11 died in the past 2 days.

That is awful! What do you think the cause was?

Somebody mentioned that the air cells might have been to small. But none of them even Internally Pipped as far as I can see (maybe a couple?).

Aww, that's terrible! I'm so sorry for your loss but I hope the rest of your hatch goes smooth!
