Kathryn, I do not know HOW you get such clear bright photos! My photo attempts all look like dark blobs, so I gave up. Gorgeous!

Do hens have navels?

I was kind of thinking the navel was where they absorb the yolk, probably not the correct term.

yeah me too!! maybe wrong term? This is my first time heck I didn't even know what a pip was...

2 more left. 1 has piped, and one is zipping right now!!!.

Edited: because the chicks decided to try and come out

I am using manual settings on my camera. "auto" looks like dark blobs, so maybe try some different settings?

I cant resist..... more photos

I love the eye liner on this one. he was the first to hatch.

Cute...such good photos, Kathryn! Are they all hatched and in your brooder now?

No, I have one zipping, one piped and 3 others still in the incubator. And three in the brooder. They were ganging up on the newly hatched chicks

so I took them out. All three are eating and drinking, yay!!

I have 7 this am... but one isn't looking good. I think the egg yolk sac didn't absorb?? bummer cause that was a silkie and I only had one more of those.

I woke up every 3 hrs last night to check on them... I think I am going to take them out because they are making a mess in there.
