There is peeping coming from the incubator. The waiting is going to kill me. We're 22 hours into day 20, so still a while to wait.

20 new chicks hatched for me in March. I don't remember how many eggs I set, but about half of them weren't fertile.

Greetings from rural Iowa! We have some Black Swedish and Welsh Harlequins hatching today. First time we've used an incubator instead of letting the mama ducks do all the work. So far, so good!

Awww they are adorable! I wish everyone would post lots of pics, I love seeing what newly hatched little ones look like compared to grown. I'm now heading to see what these little ones look like as adults!

My wife and I are still pretty new to this and in 18 months we've gone from 3 to 22. This includes the 2 3 week olds that we let our broody hatch. I would say we've been bit! Lol
