Found it when I woke up from my nap and one other egg is starting to pip. SLow but still ging. I have to go to work, I am hoping to find lots of little chicks when I get home.

My objective is to hatch enough of what I need to produce the mixes of birds I want from my own flock then I won't buy shipped eggs.....MAYBE heheh

It is batch of silkie, serama, d'uccle, cochins, sebrights, frizzle mixes. They might be pure breeds they could be a combo of any two. The parents are all pure but they were running together when I got the eggs. The bantams just seem easier to hatch. I got them for less than a dollar an egg. I am orderinig more.
