Easter Bean-feast Hatchalong

Pics
We're at the point where I can't keep track of who's who, or even how many chocks are hopping around the incubator!

Pulled the second batch of dry fluffs out of the incubator. So far we have 28 chicks in the brooder, 1 freshly hatched chick in the incubator, 2 nearly fully zipped eggs and 2 eggs that are getting serious about zipping. Two more buckeye eggs hatched! Which brings us to 31 chicks so far.

#35 Charro, #25 Green Bean, #27 Lima, #46, #34, #23, #30 Garbanzo, #38, #31, #1 Mister, #46, #21, #17 Navy Bean, #37 Coffee Bean, #55 Teddy, #48, #44, #41, and #39 confirmed by empty shells pulled out.

3-Bean had been zipped 360° for about 12 hours with no further progress so I was afraid she was stuck. I pulled her out of the incubator and moistened the membrane/helped loosen/tear it with a q-tip and she hatched within a few minutes of going back in the incubator.

We're up to 12 babies in the incubator now. With the 28 in the brooder that brings us up to 40 chicks! And there are still zipped and pipped eggs in the incubator that I think will do just fine.
