Watching because I'm dying to hatch eggs right now and I can't.

My Easter HAL chicks aren’t laying yet… My February/March chicks alternately started laying around 6 months and are currently molting with 0 eggs or just started laying (bantams). I’m never doing spring chicks again! July at the very earliest I think, but I prefer late September-October chicks. They started laying in winter and everyone was laying by spring, they’re still laying a bit this year even during molt

I have a late March group of RIRs and BCs that are all laying. They didn’t go through a hard molt this year.

I have a pip on an Isbar egg, I don't see it in my pics.

This is a mozaic. You have to look to see the pip, it is a white line, lower middle.

3 out and 4 pips so far. day 20
Below is my isbar I love blue chicks.

this is so exciting! mine always seem to hatch on day 20, guess I see with this group since they seemed a bit behind what my others have been?

But maybe I will have chicks in 2 days!!!!!!
