**girly scream** when was lockdown for you? I am getting exicted. Lockdown is Saturday night for me! Power outage on day 14 and that has me worried. Nothing I can do but wait. I did candle about four yesterday and they looked right but could only see movement in a couple. 41 in the incubator.

My day will come but is taking forever.

Let us know when they hatch!!

Not really....some hatch early and some hatch late. Just hang in there......and let us know! I know I will be on pins and needles once I lockdown....it will be hard to be patient!!

I had 5 barred rocks hatch out of the original 11 so far. There are at least 2 more pips in the bator still chirping.

here are the 5 babies in the brooder

Everyone's babies are so cute! Loved the pictures of the ducks. Good luck to those still waiting

OMG....just realized I don't have a stuffed animal ready. DGD will be up this weekend and she can be in charge of finding one for the brooder.

Well...with some extra TLC, I think that these 6 will make it after all. Most were late and had to be helped out...they were so much weaker than the others. It was a marked difference from the first day's group to the second day's group. Only lost 2 eggs! 19 out of 21 are running around in the brooder. I lost a ton before day 25 though...EIGHT! I don't know why. I wish I did so I would know what to adjust. Anyway, the two that didn't make it were full live chicks, one hit a vessel immediately upon pipping and died shortly thereafter and the other one never pipped...was alive on day 25 before lockdown.. hmmm...
