Wow, what chunks they are! What a kind thing to do Joe. Is the lighter one a splash Orp? I can't wait to see your dark blue Orps in a few years when they are where you want them to be. They will be stunning.

Yeah, there was only one splash. He was the first to hatch. He's definitely the "leader of the pack". He's the "self-appointed welcoming committee" that I spoke of earlier; he'd get by an egg that was zipping and talk to the one doing the zipping not fast enough for him. Today, he was leading the others to start eating and drinking.

Thank you Ozark Hen. I know alot of people aren't sure about dry hatches so I thought I would post a success story and a bit of info. It is heartbreaking to order eggs, wait, incubate with care and then have them drown.
This has been the best hatch from shipped eggs yet.
