Day 20...Six of Eight Hatched! Hatch Completed PIC

[KKluckers]

I know once they start to pip you start to worry about the ones that dont. Good luck on the hatch.

Here is Silver's chick-just as black as Charlotte's baby that hatched this morning, all the way down to it's tiny toenails.

The other Ameraucanas are slowly zipping out, but I'm still waiting on the Orps to pip. They're making me very nervous! They're the ones I need the most, too, dang it.

Breathe, Cyn, breathe! They aren't late yet! You said it yourself, you can't OFFICIALLY worry until tomorrow! Get some sleep!

Cynthia,

I've managed to hatch a few of the Blue Orps. They were doing nothing until
I decided to intervene. There were live chicks under VERY thick membranes.
I've been slowly helping them out of their shells. I don't want to mention
any results yet since I have a bunch of yours' and Jody's alive but barely.

My whole point is try and help those chicks out, even if they haven't pipped yet.

Sleep - I don't think Cyn sleeps. Ever see what time some of her posts are posted? The orps will hatch - try to relax and take a nap for once.

I'm still here. A fourth Ameraucana has hatched. The first one, already in the brooder, is very black, but these three seem like they may be dark blue. They're still too wet to tell for certain. The last Amerauana is pipped and resting, but I'm still waiting for the two Blue Orps to pip.

Don, I'm glad you're managing to get some of these hatched. I've never had any trouble with the Orps hatching. My problem is getting enough eggs collected for myself, LOL. Keep us posted, okay?

Okay, woman - you've had plenty of time for the Sandman...what's news?
