Delawares Humming Along/ Due Feb 25th / Hatch Complete

Janet, our special egg has pipped!!

Inquiring minds want to know?????? What up with the Special egg?

 

[speckledhen]

It's an egg that she marked for me with the hen's name. The hen is a really large girl. She just thinks that this hen with this rooster will produce a spectacular specimen; hopefully, it will, and if so, that will most likely be my chosen rooster for my Delaware flock. So, we are going to mark the little one to keep track of it.

Oh, my and with this special egg it makes it all the more exciting!! I cannot wait

So far, that I can see for sure, there are 4 of the 16 Delawares pipped and Meg's. DH said a Blue Orp was pipped, but I dont think so. Seems like a white speck on the outside of the shell to me

***One of the four BRs has pipped in a big way. Dang these Hovabator windows! There may be others pipped, but it's hard to see at some angles.

GO BR's! Glad the dels are finally going! OMG even second hand this is hard to stand.

We just started Day 21 at noon. Here is a pic of Meg's egg pipped. The special egg is below hers, but that pip is on the underside of the egg so doesn't show in this picture.
