The 7th chick just hatched!

You're so sweet - you COULD have said that it's a terrible photo that I tried to take through the lid. 

Another of the "doomed" Marans eggs has just pipped!!! So that leaves only two Marans eggs and one GNHxNN egg that have not pipped so far. We're at the end of Day 20 for me (but it's sort of "early day 21" because I set them at 7:30pm, so I called that day "Day 0".) The five that have hatched are super strong so far.  

I want to go to bed (tired), and I'm hoping to wake up to a hatcher full of chicks (I love it when that happens!). But part of me wants to keep watching!!!! :yiipchick

(Dan, it's VERY hard not to be a hatching addict for me... I have another dozen eggs on day 3 right now, and I sorta have another dozen GNH x NN saved "just in case". And I have chicks coming from Dunlap Hatchery in February. Let me know if you figure out a cure - I sure need one!!!)

Falling asleep fast here as well. I edited the photo to show what I was seeing but the editor won't allow me to download. The contrast of dark to light is pretty cool.

Anyone want a dog? He kept me from my coffee for too long this morning. He must go!

 

[Chaos18]

Have you offered him to the chickens?

 

[BullChick]

They think he is one of them.

 

[Chaos18]

So then why's he still in the house?
