Day 20. What's worse than being gone when they all hatch? coming home and there's not even a pip. Nothing! Nada! I think I saw an egg move again.

I wasn't as good about putting the bubble wrap on top of the bator at night this time, so maybe they'll be a little late. Oh well.

I did go down to Murdoch's (our TS) and I bought 11 red stars and 9 black stars to be my layers for the coop when I convert it over to just a layer coop. They are only 3 days old, so I figured I'd brood them with the hatchlings.

Come on babies get outta them shells!!

Just remember that my last batch didn't do ANYTHING until day 21!

I'm seeing all blues Deniece! Can't wait to see your results.

Deniece, hope the ones you still have of mine hatch okay. If you want more later on, early summer, let me know. Hopefully, my black pullet will be laying by then and Jay may test fertility for me first. Right, Jay?

 

[ZuniBee]

That's right!

It's officially the start of day 21 and I have PIPS!!

It looks like one of Belle's is in the lead with one of Mandy's close behind (I think it's Mandy's too close to the front of the bator to be sure, but I put them in, in order so it should be) So let's hoping they get with the work at hand and get popping out.

WOO HOO !!

 

[LoneCowboy]

You better get busy on that coop CC, I'm going to have to slip extra chickens into your box when you aren't looking

Good! I need something to keep me occupied today. Now I can "watch" your hatch!
