Well, 2 of those remaining 6 hatched out now, so there is still 4 more to go. 7 out of the 11 eggs are now chicks!

I'll keep my fingers crossed and send up a prayer. I'm hoping for a 100 percent hatch rate. Smooth sailing so far, but it ain't over until the Fat Lady sings.

are they young chickens? i know when they are young they aren't thrilled with them, but soon it will be the treat they go crazy for.

if they are older and they are used to live worms that might be why the dried isn't so hot to them

Well, I only bought the live worms after the chickens won't eat the dry ones. Now I think it's too late to switch, I have been buying live ones for them :-(

Well, when my 7 chicks hatched out on Friday, I still had 4 more eggs left. (They were supposed to hatch on Sunday) I left those 4 eggs in the incubator, and another chick just hatched out yesterday. So, that's now 8 out of the 11 eggs that made it to lock-down that have hatched. I ended up with 4 Blues, 3 Blacks, and 1 Splash.

It look's like you are doing great with them! Thanks for adding the pics and giving an update on the babies!

Let's hope the remaining eggs aren't duds. Fingers still crossed for your hatching rate.

I'll give the remaining 3 eggs until tomorrow evening to see if they will hatch. If not, then I'll pitch them, and wait on 4 more eggs in there that are due soon.

Bobby, igorsMistress just showed the pics of some chicks she got from out of my last hatch above. They are growing good!

@igorsMistress I don't know if I mentioned to you or not, but since you do have some of my chicks, you are always welcome to join in this other thread on them in the BYC site, and post the pics of your chicks to show them off:
