Anyone with a Dec 7th hatch day?

[Jeffross1968]

Tomorrow is hatch day for us. 9 eggs from our own flock. All 9 made it to lock down, and we just had our first pip, on day 20!! From our EE girl. Anyone else want to join in?

Question...they've always pipped on the side, near the fat side top. This one is literally right at the top of the fat side of the egg. Is this ok?

A 2nd pip! Looks like we'll have some early hatchers!

Good luck to you too!!! This is the earliest we've ever seen a hatch, and much earlier than our last hatch where they all came out 2 days late.

CONGRATS on the pips!!!!!

So....how long can go between the first pip, and the last pip. We have 9 eggs, 2 pips, the 2nd pip happened 4.5 hours ago, and they are both a day early. You veteran hatchers...what's the longest you've ever gone between first and last pip?

I'm not a veteran hatcher by any means, but you say you have some early pips. I would guess you'll have some take the full time and some late ones as well. I've had all hatch within 2 days from start to finish.

Our first to hatch was the 2nd to pip. First pip hasn't done much since. Also have a 3rd pip. 5 more haven't pipped yet, but it's only really been hatch day for 24 minutes

Here it is! From our brahma hen, feathered legs!
