Anyone hatching April 5-7 or so? ALL DONE, READY TO BE LOCKED

Yuppers, I'm very serious! Now, if I get a broody, she'll get some eggs, but I'm done being a bator jockey for quite some time.

I~~think~~I'm getting there too. We'll see after this spring. I can't work, so I enjoy the hatching and watching for the ones I want to keep, then, meeting other chicken people when it's time to sell the others. Chicken people are the friendliest!

Sometimes it take a long time when you have to birth yourself. Pipped last night at 6pm.....emerged this morning around 11am. And somebody help me but it already looks like a rooster! It is 1/2 Buff Orpington and 1/2 RIR (I think on the second half).

Two more pips and one is a wild one.......and 36 more to go!!

Ok...now you can lock up this thread. I know where to find you guys if I have quesitons!!!!

It has been so exciting....have the inside brooder warming up....but I think we are in for a long night tonight. Day 21 starts at 8pm.

This chick is huge by the way.....it was a big egg. Now if he will just fluff up!

Yes, with that many left to hatch, you will have some loud on going chirps for a while. They usually make a lot of noise after they hatch, as if to say, I'm here, I'm here, where are you mom????

You will have fun. Enjoy!

Looks like they will fluff out a pretty yellowish/red color from what I can see while wet. That will be a pretty color. More babies..yaay..
