First time hatching with an incubator!

[Theurbanhomestead]

Hello all, this is mostly just me posting because of all the excitement here today. We had a fox wipe out a good chunk of our flock about a month ago so I threw some eggs in an incubator to try and salvage what we could. I know its the wrong time of year but I figured they would be inside chickens for a while longer than normal. Anyway we have 7 that have pipped so far today and the kids are super excited. I'll post pictures later if I remember to.

Warning: Incuabting eggs becomes an addiction.
Seriously, congrats and looking forward to seeing pics of new peeps!

I'm sorry to hear about the fox. I'm sure before you put more chickens out there you've fixed it up. 1/2" hardware cloth will keep a fox out.

But hey, this post is about celebrating! Congrats on the pips! Yes, we'd love to see pictures! Oh, and @BoundlessLove is very right; incubating/hatching is so addictive!

The issue was not the pen, The issue was my daughter and her friend left the door open overnight.....but yeah that issue has been fixed.
