Eggs are here :)Paganbirds and MagsC's hatching thread!!UpdateMarch16!

[Paganbird]

My husband woke me up when he got home.
I have a white silkie running around the 'bator!
At least 3 more pips that I can see. 2 are barred rocks and one is SLW mix.
A yellow chick from the dark egg? Hmmmm... must be white rock. That's the only white chicken I have. (other than the leghorn... but she lays white eggs) I thought she laid light brown eggs. Interesting.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

As if right now, four out, four pipping. The four pipping are a barred rock, another dark brown egg (like what the yellow chick came out of), a white egg and still the olive egg. It hard to tell sometimes when they very first start pipping but there are a couple blue ones rocking.
My daughter is in love with the little silkie/sizzle and is excited for the hatch that has more of those.

Meanwhile, I am going to sit, relax and wait.

Still only four out but another pip, so five pipping.

Okay, updated count. three black/white(four??),(two tan eggs, one dark brown) two blonde (one from a white egg and one from a dark brown), one reddish/black(tan egg) and one little silvery greyish colored silkie/sizzle. At least two pips that I can see, the olive egger is working on it but not out yet. I am not giving up hope for the other eggs just yet. I have the brooder set up but dont want to mess up this hatch so waiting to put everybody in there when I dont see any pips, then quickly mist it down with warm water, close it again and see.

Eight of the little suckers out!!!!!

More pipping. Dang it, I have lost count.
As soon as the hatch is done, Paganbird, Sonew123, I will send you the pics and you can put them up here if you want.
I have never got the hang of the whole posting picture thing.

 

[MagsC]

Nine out, at least three pipping.

When I got up for work at 5am, I had 2 out. My silkie & what appears to be a BO.
DH told me at lunch time that another one had hatched. When I got home at 3:30, there were 4 out. 2 barred rocks had hatched while I was at work. Then I took my daughter to gymnastics. I just got home.
I currently have 4 out & at least 4 pips.

Mags is still "winning" LOL!
The BR chicks hatched from brown-speckled light brown eggs. The big yellow chick hatched from my only brown-spotted tan egg.
Have any of Phoenix's eggs pipped yet? Her eggs are so big and round. I don't have pips in any of hers, yet. I had to candle them before I set them to find the aircell so I would set them right-side-up. She usually gives me pretty pullets. I'm hoping for a couple from her. She (and her chicks) are also really soft & fluffy.
