Can I get an AWWW? Chick # 1 wobbled its way across the bator and onto the cartons to go offer up-close help!

Next time I will take out the thermometer and use a sponge in the tupperware. This is chick #1 a Brahmacauna (EE)

Wobbling over to offer moral support to chick #2 What appears to be a BOxBrahma

Swimming across the eggs

Here it is: the AWWWW moment!

Sticking close to offer a wing if needed.

Ooo, you may be the one to get the first chick to hatch on New Years Day..ha, you won't be able to leave that bator once you get a pip...before midnight. Oh Wait, you aren't leaving the bator much are you now?

Lol...yeah, well, you know...I'm a little obsessed

I highly doubt I'll get the first New Years chick...like I said, no peeps, no pip, nuthin'...unless I have a Speedy Gonzales in there somewhere!

Oh my goodness, this has got to be the longest day ever! Ugh! Nothing but occasional rocking from my 7...how BORING!!! I keep checking, like every 30 minutes, and not peeps, no pips, no zips, nada! I'm worried about one of the eggs...haven't seen it rock all day...never moved that much when I candled before lockdown, either. If I have any that don't make it...and I pray that I don't...it's gonna be that one, I'm sure.

Rock, rock, rock...come ON chickies...gimmie sumthin' good! Talk to me!

Grab a good book, and good drink to sip on! The wait does stink doesn't it?! LOL.

I am officially out of the 1st chick to hatch on NYD race. My pip just hatched, a d'Uccle.

They are adorable! Your hatch is going great! What is the yellow one that just hatched?

My first chick just hatched and it is an OE! Its color looks just like a golden cuckoo Marans pullet! Keeping my fingers crossed that it is a girl!

Report from our house is the first one to pip, has now started to zip, and It is either a WM, or a Wellie. The second one that just started to pip is a LA. I am ready to leave work and see the action for myself! Happy New Year everyone!
