Eggs are starting to pip!

My eggs are starting to pip!

This will be my third hatch. My first one wasn't too successful. The second hatch was better. The third's the charm, right? (pleasepleasepleaseplease) .

Shamelessly requesting some good luck from the forum.

Man, you just never get tired of watching keets hatch, you know? I even like this little guy >

Good luck!!!!!! I have a few mixed chicken eggs that just started pipping last night!! hoping all make it thru - candling showed all 8 were doing good at the last check.


Here's to healthy keets & chicks!

congrats

but wanted to say you seem to be pulling them out the bator too soon

they need to dry off before removing them

A friend of mine is hatching them for me - I haven't worked out all the kinks yet w/ my bator(hopefully when all my birds start laying, some will go broody & I wont have to worry about doing it myself!). I do know they have a heat lamp on (turned off for the picture) I'll be sure to mention it to her. Thanks for the helpful info!
