Hi! Congratulations on the newest chicks!!
Although it is still just Day 20 here, the first two chicks hatched this morning --- a Naked Neck (from a blue/splash naked neck frizzle green-egger pen).
Good Luck!!

Excited! Congrats to everyone on their chickies! All 7 of my ameraucanas hatched and 4 silkies too. I had am issue with one ameraucana where it pipped through it's membrane and bled but it still miraculously lived.. The blood crusted over and became a huge scab that plastered the chick to the pip hole and to the wall inside of the shell. It's head, neck, back and wing were all stuck to the scabby area. It was huge... I had to alternate working the scab off gently and putting it back in the incubator for an hour before it was finally off and able to flop around. I'm really glad i helped because that one never would have made it out. I noticed shortly after, maybe an hour after it was free and half dry that is had a bubble... Like filled with air on it's neck where it was stuck. I waited to see what would happen and it went away on it's own. But it was certainly strange... Now that same chick has pasty butt issues. Go figure.... Anyways waiting for 7 more silkies to hatch. Today is official day 21 for me.

Congratulations!! I wonder if the bubble was from it trying to tug away from being stuck and crreated an air pocket under its skin? Glad you were able to help the baby out!

Lizzie's babies are hatching! We have seen one pale grey one, and can see a pip hole in the americauna egg... can't see much else yet. She is definitely being the classic mother hen! lol Can't wait to meet them and see if we can figure out who the mystery eggs belong to.

Congratulations on all of the new babies!!
