YAY..

Had three eggs pip on Friday night... No progress at all Saturday afternoon. Still the same three pip'd, one piped low so I thought it would be lost already. So took the kids to the beach for a few hours.. Came home and it looked like it was raining in the bator..

10 came out on there own.. 3 left so I open the bator reached in and pulled the one egg that piped low. It had been longer than 24 hours at the time.. I just cracked the shell, he looked dry so I yanked him out.. lol..

Here are the first 11.. don't laugh at my brooder.. its temporary..

Here is the last two waiting to dry.. One came out on its own.. the last one i had a feeling something was wrong, i didn't see a pip or anything.. I pulled the egg out from the bator and checked.. it had piped on the bottom and I couldn't see it. Cracked some shell to find it's inner membrane shrink wraped and dry.. took it to the bathroom and wet the membrane down.. Yanked him out of his shell too.. little tired but hopefully should pull through..

Congratz on the chicks! I have a couple of small batches going into lockdown next week and I should have fuzzy butts by May Day as well.

Yay more today how long should they stay in there? I don't want to open it too soon and shrink wrap the late ones.

I usually leave mine until they are fluffed or get real crowded, if there are more pips I keep them in there sometimes 24 hours.. if they get crowded you can take the incubator to the bathroom and run the shower until the room get real humid and pull them out real fast.. But they do have a 3 day reserve from the yolk..

Cute, cute, cute, love all the chicks.
My 20 from my first hatch are already feathering out.
My broody hen is on day 19, she is on mostly Mille Fleur Cochin eggs.
I had a second broody started two days ago. Now I go down the barn to find two more Mille Fleur Cochin hens have gone broody. And a small mixed bantam in the main coop. First I have no broodies, now I am overrun with them, lol.

I candled yesterday and 100% fertility on the Ameraucana eggs.... I hope they make it to lockdown!
