These guys come out to my yard religiously every morning and I love it.

Nope. No more eggs being eaten/broken now. Super weird. Some of my family members that sometimes to check on the eggs report that when Bippy's out of the nest most of the flock goes inside the coop and steps on the eggs

Well that's just rude!
Guess it's good they're plastic now huh?

She is! I'm so glad she's alive, after all the trauma she suffered

My chickens are full on screaming the egg song outside and I know damn well there isn't gonna be an egg (every time I go check when I hear it nothing's there, silly chickens). I'm gonna go check anyway

Of course there's no egg.

I took saffron out on my hand for a few seconds. She's so tiny.

She still looks wet. I probably would have left her in untilfully dry. It's also good that she was chirping because it helps encourage the other to hatch.

She looked so sad and was always really excited when she sees me and waddles toward me. I repositioned pepper so I could see her and just held saffron for 3 secs. She's back in the warm incubator now.

Pepper now has a bigger opening! Go pepper
