The last hatch I did I got eggs from my sister's flock. She has somewhere around 100 birds. Out of the almost 3 dozen, I think 13 were clears. I called her and told her at least one of her hens weren't getting the love she thought they were. lol

on the ones in lockdown!!

If I decide to repeat with my own eggs, I'll have to separate and rotate the girls, and trim Edward's bum feathers!

LOL. I have a four month old NN roo that has been trying to mate for weeks now...lol The girl's aren't laying yet, but he's determined to get the practice in. I'm hoping by teh time they start laying he'll know what he's doing....lol

I'm a little worried about the one in the upper right corner. He's pipped below my air cell line. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Don't be. He looks great too. Generally that's where you see them pip a good share of the time. I'm assuming that your last air cell line is for day 18. Remember they grow a bit bigger between day 18 and 20/21 so your air cell would be a bit bigger than your last line.

These are pics from my November hatch. You'll notice a good share of the ones in the pics pipped or started zipping right on or just below the day 18 air cell line.
