Day 23 3 pips so far - overnight 2 new ones pipped out - no zipping yet. So exciting to get this far!

7/9 of mine have hatched so far (6 had hatched when I went to bed). Mama let me gently pull the last 2 eggs out for a look (hens don't understand lockdown anyway), one has a pip and the other has nothing yet. Guess I know what I'm doing with my day.

I have 7 Serama eggs from my own lines due to hatch this weekend...today is day 20. No pips, just rocking. Struggling with the humidity - been a problem this whole incubation process this time due to the daily changing weather here in the Pac NW. It keeps dropping to 55 then going up to almost 80 when I slightly wet the sponge

So far in south central oklahoma there have been 4 fuzzy butts that have hatches, lots of chirping going on, 37 more eggs at varied degrees, some just rocking, some pipping.
