Second egg started pipping about 10mins ago! Gonna be a long night!

How exciting! Can't wait to see what they look like, probably heading to bed now, will see in the am.

Yay uzi!! I'm FREAKING out!!

The stupid janoel won't come up to temperature! !

So I have the hovabator. Should I just hand turn every day?

I got new chickens this weekend! And more muscovy ducks.

My first chick broke its way out about an hour ago! And it's an angry little nugget just like its dad! The second egg hasn't changed since last night, but I'm pretty sure I heard chirping & egg shell cracking earlier. Hopefully, that one will join its sibling while I'm at work (which I'm totally late to getting to because I couldn't miss my first hatch). If not, I'm gonna have to find a couple chicks to keep it company!

I'm so excited! That was pretty cool to watch.

Oh gosh, how cute and so exciting, I am sure you got no sleep last night. Congrats on your first hatching! Does he/she have a name yet?

Just wanted to post some shots of our flock from yesterday. We herded all 24 to our garden area and let them do their thing. They enjoyed it and had only got started on digging the raised beds near the end of their time in there. I didn't get any shots of that as my phone was dead. I pulled up all our tomatoe cages and roots, the gang followed me around once they realized their were some worms and bugs in those roots.

Beautiful spring weather, gonna dig out the incubators. Trying to figure out where to put them. We have a nice shed with electricity in there, just need to put a hygrometer in there to see what the temps are. Might have to put a heater in there if I decide to use them in there. The issue is space in the house for the incubators for 21-25 days or so. Thanks to everyone on here, I have the hatching bug now as well.

Yay Uzi!!! Congrats! So amazing to see a chick make its way out of the shell! Hoping your second is out by the time you get home from work!

Hmmm, not sure on the Janoel and temp spikes. What day are you on, sometimes it is ok, sometimes it isn't.

Yep, this hatching bug is catching!! It is like "must see" TV, but way more exciting! Hmm, on the shed for incubating? The room where you place the incubator has to be around the same temp, no wild temp swings from all I have read.
