Anyone else hatching Feb. 1st?

Hey.... none of my Silkies have pipped yet either... not that I know of. They are under a hen. I did hatch out one of the cross-breed eggs this evening. Even that one was late, so maybe it's just the weather conditions or something contributing to a slower hatch. I'm still hoping for some Silkies babies. I haven't candled I just figured that I will wait awhile more. Waiting is hard I know! Good luck!!

When I went out to check the setting hens after church, I looked at the eggs due to hatch and saw one in the front, one of the cross-breed eggs (of course!) had pipped. I checked about a hour later and could see some progress, but nothing broken through. After church tonight the chick had hatched. Here is a picture, although it was taken in the dark... I think the chick is half Rock of some sort... Plymouth or Barred and then 1/4 Cochin and 1/4 of whatever other Rock it isn't "half" of! LOL! It's from a neighbor's flock.

Well, he/she made a liar out of me........nothing since 9 am. That is a bantam ee, and the Daddy is a splash silkie. I have hatched them once before.....click on my web link and the first 3 pics on the page are mom, dad and the 3 babies. They are sooooo sweet.
 
Today I'm up to 13 BR's, 1 unkown from dark egg, and 5 NHR's.

The NHR's seem to be hatching a day later then the BR's, I still have pipped eggs in the bator so I'm not done

I had 6 blue eggs but tossed them as none of them were fertile, that's what I really wanted to, lol.


Happy Hatching Vibes for everyone!!!
