As of this morning I have 1 Black East Indie and 1 Call out! A third is slowly thinking about zipping. As soon as the zipper is out, I'm going to candle the remaining 7 and safe hole the ones that aren't yet as long as they have pipped internally. Is this the right thing to do? The 2 hatched and 1 zipping were all ones I had safe holed Thursday.

Safe holes only need to be made if 24 hrs have gone by since they internally pipped. I wouldn't safe hole anymore unless you are 100% sure they gone 24 hours since internal pip. :)

Very glad they are popping out!! See? Patience pays off!!

My Anconas are due tomorrow and they've been working their way out early, might have a few out today. 7 externally pipped, 2 are backwards (Lori expect a text later) and many of the other 11 are internally pipped!

Awww sounding good! Piccies?
 
Final count...3 white calls and 2 black east indies. 10 shipped eggs made it to lock down so this was a 50% hatch. Overall I'm very pleased with the results and glad the stressing is over. At least until the 7th when my next duck hatch should start. Pictures to follow after I finish the feeding and cleaning chores this morning.

One of the white ones has a curled foot so I taped it to see if we can fix it. They are all full of energy and running around like crazy!

My colored pair are starting to lay eggs in their nest box. I am going to let them do the hatching. I have read that if you incubate them yourself most die because they won't eat. so you will have to wait for chicks after they get a little older.
