Anyone up to set their eggs on Valentine's day with me?

Set the two that were the last eggs laid by my buff orp hens that were killed by the raccoon... one has popped his way out already, kicking and cheeping (totally like his dad... my alpha roo). The other, nothing. I candled before lockdown, and both were active and good. So I may be raising a poor only with a feather duster for a friend.

These little fuzz butts hatched yesterday. Have 3 more under my other broody and an egg that got squished in the bator now hopefully he/she makes it.

First batch of seramas:

I'm tickled with my eight babies!
i have one with the yolk still not absorbed, he's in the bator, watching the three eggs that are quiet... I think they were late quitters.
I lost one chick who pipped the wrong end, I think he drown... ;-(
the other who pipped the wrong end I hatched, that is the yolk one... but he's energetic and should be fine I think.
congrats to all the new babies!
 
Congrats everyone ! So exciting - i on the other hand am not pleased - today is day 21 and they are still just sitting there well looking like eggs. Had a temp spike when i went into lockdown up to 103 but it was probably only 10 minutes - flipped the lid off and got it back on track. This is my first hatch - they all went into lockdown fine - but nothing. I set @7 pm on Valentines day - but you all have already hatched - not a happy man at this point.

I am very happy for alll the pips, zips and fuzzy butts out there. I, Like Inkheart set in the evening and while I do have one pip from last night, resting now, no other action on the others. I will be at work all day and a meeting to go to afterwards. Here to some fuzzy butts waiting from me when I get home.

They all looked great when I candled them before lockdown.
