Finally Hatching Time! Pics!

[WilsonChickies]

We have our first pip! About four hours ago our first chick made the first break for life outside the shell! I can hear peeping and the temp and humidity are solid. Little bit of a nervous, first-time chick mom. (Lol) Watching everything close!

(Originally posted thinking we had an “early” pip, but turned out to be a piece of debris, and I’m relieved because it would have been before the incubator was ready for hatch)


I’ll update over the next few days, as there’s not much going on right now. -besides three very excited kiddos!

Can't wait to see them.

What breeds are you hatching?

We have our first hatch! 13hrs from pip to freedom! We have a mix of Welsummer, Dominique, Rhode Island Red, and Cochins. And all the chicks will be mixed of those.

I have two others that have pipped, it’s okay to open the incubator to get her out when she’s fluffy, this won’t disturb the others? I know they can stay in the incubator for several hours, but it took her 13hrs to be born. I feel like that’s a long time to leave her there..
