Cynthia told me the rule of thumb is if they are set before noon it's Day 1, if they are set after noon it's Day 0. Hope that helps.

Interesting.. and here I was stressing that over half these babies havent even pipped yet! *Wipes Forehead!*

Update and pictures after little man goes to bed! (or if he gives me 10 min to do so lol)​

Ok as promised!!! As of right now I have 10 babies in the brooder and 3 drying in the bator... a few more are pipped. Im soooo worried. I had to help to this afternoon. They pipped last night and still werent out... I pulled them out and they werent necessarily "shrink wrapped" but "glued" to the membrane. Their feathers were stuck to it.. and they couldnt get loose. AHHH I freaked... so I heated a blanket up nice and toasty and got a warm wash cloth and slowly helped. Ill be keeping a close eye on those 2. Everyone is doing fine and running around the brooder. I dont have any barred rocks or welsummers yet

(Welsummers havent even pipped yet....

) .... anyway... Im going to try and be positive and stop sulking... heres pictures!!!!!!!!

Watch those Welsummers. I let two go too long last month. I wonder if their eggs are thicker?

Those speckled sussex are gorgeous and Nancy certainly knows how to pack eggs.

Congrats.

Beautiful chicks. You said you don't have any BR babies, but what's that black chickie? ETA: if that black baby is a BR, looks like you got yourself a girl!

I have Nancy's Welsummer and Barred rock babies. And her eggs made it from GA to CA without a single one broken. Now THAT'S a true test of her shipping ability!!!!

Just a heads up on the welsummers.With my hatch from Nancy the speckleds hatched one day and the welsummers did not hatch till the next day.I also was worried about the Wellies and the next day they hatched so do not give up on them.

Thanks for the reassurance guys... I do have 1 wellie with a smallllll pip in it.... looks like ill be waking up during the night to check on them lol.

New2chooks: The black baby is a mix from Yard Full O' Rocks eggs, he is really black and stocky. The really white/yellow one is one of his Dels/Del mixes.. Ill have to get a better picture of her tomorrow... she is super bright lol, I have 2 more drying in the bator just like her!

James: What is it youll need from me in the spring... so I can be prepared!!

PM me if you need too!
