How exciting! I am glad that some of these will be hatching like tomorrow and maybe saturday and then my others over the weekend too. So my kids will be home to see some of them hatch. They have seen some of it with previous hatches and they get so excited. I am going to handcuff myself (just kidding) so I wont be tempted to open that bator or to help. I get so antsy and want to do something if they are a little late coming out. I am going to get control this time, I mean it. (I think I can, I think I can). Anyway, you keep us posted! and good luck.

this is the most fun I"ve had in a long time I can hear them cheeping back at me and when I cheep one of them rocks back and forth!

I already told my son we have to do this again!

Any pics forthcoming??

not much to look at yet, but there are 9 pipped and 3 are zipping

How exciting for you! I can see the pip...neato! What are the circles on the ends for? Is that the "target" area you're hoping they'll pip at? I have a friend I met here on BYC that's going to be hatching some eggs soon in the 'bator she just ordered, and I'm learning more about hatching. Very interesting!

the circles on the ends are the aircells at 14 days, I needed a visual to compare to the chart

its running (or should I say stumbling) around the entire incubator and hasn't stopped peeping my eight year old said he's "vigorous" I think he's been reading too many chicken books
