Just checking the eggs and I have a few more pips and one of them is a Faverolles egg.
Unfortunately one of my Leghorn eggs has a bloody pip. I candled it and there is still movement inside and I can see where some blood has run int the air cell. I haven't seen this before, so I will be watching it closely.

Yes they are! I can't wait to meet them.Yay! Are they lavender orpingtons? I think I remember you saying that they were. They are so pretty
It may have nicked a vein when pipping the membrane. I hope it dries the vessel out and hatches out strong for you.Just checking the eggs and I have a few more pips and one of them is a Faverolles egg.

Well all day I've had 9 pips...just sitting there. Driving me crazy! Finally 4 are zipping, so I have a shot at the New Years Chick, lol! I was starting to worry about pipped upside down Marans baby, and Sally Sunshine explained it to me so nice and simply. I want to share for anyone who may worry like me. When a chick pips internally it takes a loong break to rest and acclimate it's lungs before starting on the external pip. That is the part that we don't see. When a chick pips on the wrong end it is really it's "internal pip" moment. So, it will sit for quite a while acclimating it's lungs. Once I understood and wasn't worried anymore, wouldn't you know it, it's zipping!

I just got home. I now have 8 pip's and a lot of cheeping coming from my bator.
I hope they can hold out 4 more hours until the new year.
I'm going to be up all night running back and forth from the incubatore to the refrigerator. (where is the fat smiley face?)
