Just peeping in to announce that we are proud parents of two baby chicks so far. The first one hatched around I want to say 9 am and the second one by around 12 or 1. So far no other pipping but I have high hopes being that these are just backyard who knows hatching eggs, but after candling them in the duration, they all but one so far, look to be good to go. I guess time will tell, but for now, I am like eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!! Such a proud mama!!


Yes, it made a heck of a mess and seemed to be a rush to get out once it heard the first one peeping. Can you imagine how I felt when I heard what I thought is peeping, was listening, laid my head back down and then my hubby said there is a chick in there lol! I hopped up so fast, only to see a little hole being pecked through rofl!! Sorry about any glare, the small glass window on the top of my incubator, is only so big, so had a hard time getting a decent pic lol! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!

I was checking an egg once to see if it was still going. I put it up to my ear to see if I could hear peeping, and it pipped in my ear!
