Chick # 2 is out - a black mystery chick!

There's a silkie egg starting to zip... looks like a black one!

got home and I have a 4th mystery chick...looks all black. I also have 4 more pips. Hoping that they all will hatch out.

Claustrophobic chick driving me nuts. No wonder he's out from under the turkey hens, the little spaz. I have him locked in the incubator when he's not in my hands or running around the desk top pecking at starter. I ought to throttle him now, he's gonna be nothing but trouble. I'm going to restuff him under them tonight, maybe he'll be tired by then...

Still only 4 have hatched. The first one hatched last night at 9pm. I still have pips tonight, but none hatching. I hate the waiting. How long should I wait to see if others will hatch? Should I take the first born out and move her to the brooder now? It has almost been 12 hours.

The site that I am reading now reads that you can start thinking of removing the chicks within 12-24 hours. If it were me, I'd leave her in to cheer the rest of them on. Someone correct me if I am wrong, please! I hate to give advice, since I am still a newb.

I just wanted to announce that I have another chick pippin', and one wigglin'!

Congratz on your hatches everyone!

Today I had 1 EE chick hatch AND 10 pheasant chicks hatch!
I was amazed at the pheasants, 9 hatched all within probably 30 minutes of eachother, must have had some egg to egg conversations going on there!
I also have three more pheasant eggs pipped, but the 14th hasn't done anything.. yet. And, 6 eggs under my pied 'Scovy hen have pipped! I'm not sure if they're all going to be pure Muscovy, but I sure am hoping that they will be. I've sooo been wanting my hen to have some babies!

Nothing from the other two...YET!

Going to finish setting up the brooder.

Nothing hatching here yet, of course I could be off by a day or so, not going to get too worried.

Congrats to all those that have chicks hatching!!!!

Jost got back in around midnight. DH had bought tix to a baseball game, so we went. Left at about 5pm.
So... Had a silkie hatch before I left.
Had a silkie hatch as soon as I walked in the door.
That's 4 chicks so far!

I have 11 more pips. Just sittin' here waiting...

I'm leaving my peeps in at least overnight, probly 24 hours or so. My 1st one hatched at 1pm, so I may start to take them out around then. They look comfy in there.

So I only have 7 chicken eggs that haven't pipped yet: 1 mystery brown egg, 3 silkies, a green egg, and all 3 white eggs.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... here's some pics. I'll get better ones once they're out of the 'bator.
Chick #1 is gold with black flecks
Chick #2 is black with a yellow spot on it's head & a little yellow bottom
Chick #3 is a silkie - not sure of color, maybe blue?
Chick #4 is a silkie - maybe a splash

Chick #1 hatching:

Here's one with silkies: Chicks in the 'bator:
