Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

Okay, I think I have another pip, but it looks like it is in the middle of the egg....? Is that okay? Should I check it out?

Leave it alone. It did the hardest part and pipped. Let it rest and watch it later when it zips just fine. Remember if you open the bator now you will compromise the rest of your hatch. Keep it closed.

update..15 total out of 22 eggs...4 eggs still in hatcher cuz I think they are still good...but not sure...2 I egg-topsied and had fully developed chicks but died, those were maran eggs. but so far I'm pleased with what I've got...of the 4 cream leg bar eggs I had 1 clear and 3 hatched.
I feel very lucky because I got 2 girls and 1 boy...so I'm going to see about breeding these and will separate from the rest of the flock since they are a rare breed. I've turned into a chicken fanatic and I may need to seek help...LOL

I have cream legbars on my list. Just need to convince DH that I need another coop since 2 coops just isn't enough.

Let it try and hatch by itself. How's the zipper doing?

Yup! I wasn't going to- I mean, unless I had to.

Congrats! They are so pretty... And 2 girls and a boy is perfect! You must breed them for sure.

it is about 1/10 of the way around- not much, but has been making pretty steady progress I guess.
