day 20 barred rock already pipping!!!! update total 25 hatched

[equine chick]

I took 29 eggs off the turner. nh reds, barred rocks, silkies and welsummers and some mixed flock of my own. I noticed this morning when I candled some were really close to the airsac or in it. I heard peeping tonight and saw one barred rock was just starting to pip with just a piece of a egg shell starting to come off. I've never pipped this early should I be ready. I'm thinking I could be off but did not think so. We put them in may 12 in the afternoon. I just checked so I guess we are on day 19.

Okay 5 babies are out 3 barred rocks, one of my mixed cuckoos and one of my buff orps(they are mixed by the sweetest rir roo ever) There are still 11 pips and most of the rest of the eggs are rocking.

Okay so far the hatching gods are watching over us. We have 7 babies with four zipping and 11 still pipping. From what I can see we have a welsummer, another br and 2 more orps.
