Well day two of lockdown holding humidity about 63-66% so hoping for a good hatch. Thursday morning can't get here soon enough, almost as exciting as Christmas morning

The patience is what kills me during a hatch , i just starting a new coop now tomorrow in Ireland you have to make good use of any good weather available, hopefully it turns out half decent :/ good luck with the hatch post a pic of your first hatch

Where in Ireland? My family came from County Cork. to bad I can't send you some Canadian eggs.

In County Galway, us Irish seem to have migrated everywhere lol, my mother and father are originally from Inis Mór a gorgeous Island just off the coast, I have a friend working in Canada at the moment maybe you could meet up and he could smuggle them to me haha. how goes the hatch?

Hatch should be starting tomorrow, the couple of days are always the toughest. I make a terrible old hen. I will post pictures as they hatch. I am in the US right now just have Canadian Chickens, lol. they are a critically endangered breed so I am trying to do my part. What breed / breeds do you have? I am planning to come over to Ireland next year I will have to come see you flock.

nothing yet...ugh I hate the last couple of days prior to the hatch. Hopefully in the morning there will be pips.

Yay we have pipped eggs. 3 overnight so the hatch is finally on I will update throughout the day as the fuzzy butts appear.

3 have hatched and 6-7 are pipped so far things are going well, I never took the eggs out of the tray the chicks are getting out of them without any problems. I love watching them zip around the egg and getting out.

Yay!! I just have a mixed flock there only kept for eggs and as pets so we like a little bit of variety lol. blue bell, brown leghorn, frizzle cochin, maran, and rhode island reds. Any pics? Anyone zipped yet?
