Good morning everyone, it's almost 7 am here in Australia. Things are still happening here. My welsummer and hamburgh eggs hatched, and a barred rock is zipping. I'm still waiting on pips from 2 more barred rocks and another Sussex, plus the quail of course.

And I have some good news.

Meet Mal-the-formerly-malpositioned. She hatched into my hands at 2am last night, over 24 hours after initially pipping the wrong end of her egg. Her fluff is a little stuck down where it was under exposed membrane but she seems to be doing okay.

Yay!!! Congratulations!! Welcome to the world Mal

Happy I waited

chicken 1 is zipping away. The other 2 are breathing air and will soon be zipping as well. Thank you for all the advice it helped me not freak out.

Quail are pipping!

I moved the dry chicks to the brooder, they were starting to play some serious football with the unhatched eggs. I wish the others would get on with pipping.

My last quail hatch it took them ages to go from pipping to hatching. One hatched a full twelve hours before the others, and then suddenly they were all popping out. As I recall the hatch dragged out over 2 - 3 days.

They'll be fine, Frankie. The waiting sucks though.
