Then went to turn my others eggs in other bators Here is a hole in one egg??? Oh no how did that happen?..its a chick Pipping!!forgot about these little suckers !
Today is hatch day! I didnt even have them in lockdown at all until now !!so who knows how many will hatch there are 6 just my mixed but i feel bad I thought i had made a mistake on my calendar..... I am so disorganized. Well hes almost out and in lock now.

OK Rox- you sound as bad as me missing that I had 1 lav orp chick that was smaller than the others so I just stuck it outside w/ the others & nearly killed it! We have too many eggs/chicks - well wait, we can never have too many- we just need to get it together

Good luck to the poor baby!

They are resting. Don't give them another thought until it's been over 24 hours. Or more.

Thanks Tar Heel. I would hate to see them come this far to die on me now!!!

Whoopee, first hatch of the year for us. My broody BCM hen has gone from 3 eggs to three peeps in her nest box. I have never hatched under a hen before and I am just thrilled. I would like to transfer them to a brooder and give her more eggs. My question is: What is the chance she will set another week on some eggs I have in the bator if I give them to her? She did continue to get up and eat, drink, and eliminate, out of the nest every day, so she is in good body condition. I am concerned about leaving the peeps in the hen house without additional heat, but at the same time I hate to take her peeps away from her. I am in New Mexico and it is still very cold here. Any experiences/advice is appreciated. Thank you.
