I count 10 chicks in that picture. Are there going to be anymore? I have some peeping chicks under a hen but I haven't seen any little faces peeking out at me yet.

Sadly, NONE of my eggs hatched. I think it was a humidity and/or temperature issue. I began to wonder if the thermometer that came with my Hovabator was accurate and I didn't have a hygrometer. I purchased one (too late to make a difference), and the temperature was, in fact, off and almost no humidity. Out of 20 eggs, we threw 16 away last night. We were told that sometimes eggs will hatch on day 25 (which we are at right now), so I'm on a very thin thread of hope.

Those are gorgeous little babies - I'm so jealous though! 12 of my eggs are/were Ameraucana.
