here is a picture of the 4 bantams. 3 are blue barred and one is a black barred. The parents are black barred, but they carry the blue gene! They look like little baby penguins!

They are so adorable!! They do look like little penguins. How long did you leave them in the bator before taking them out? Mine are still drying and official hatch started around 2am. We have 6 out 9 so far.

Congrats on your babies

How ADORABLE is that? Such cute furry legs!

I guess with a broody doing the work I don't get to watch.

The last time I candled things looked good, so I'm hopefull! I guess they would be in lockdown now so I am resisting the urge to peek. Flossy has been broody a long time before she even started this clutch so I'm sure she'll be so relieved when they hatch!

I keep them in the bator until they are out and uncurl and look like little wet babies, then I take them out and put them in a rubbermade tote that is really warm so that they dont play soccer with the other eggs. Once they are dry and fluffy they move to the brooder with food and water. Good luck! 6 out of 9 is REALLY good! I cant wait to see pictures! I have 3-4 more due tomorrow or thursday and 4 or 5 more due saturday or sunday! I am SO addicted to this!​

So, today is day 21. 1 chick out this morning and 3 pipped. Yippee

Hi! I see a few pips and hear cheeping this evening. Day 21 doesn't start til tomorrow evening and one incubator was running a bit cooler than the other, so I split the eggs into 2 hatchers.
Good luck everyone!
