I'm with you. I still have quite a few with no pips or even a sound.
Today is day 21 for me as well.

Thanks she'll be missed, she was one of those total lap chickens, and a great layer and broody.

She usually co-brooded with Penny:

This morning, (4am) as I was heading to work, I had two pips, Now I am home for lunch and have one hatched and about 8 pips. The one hatched looks like a Barred rock but its 1/2 Ameraucana...heres hoping for muffs and fuffs!
I have to go back to work but will post pics when I get back (and maybe after a nap)

They sure are hatching early this time! They arent suppose to hatch till Halloween day (day 21)! SOME are hatching out the wrong end of the egg! Never had that problem or issue.
The one thats out, came out the wrong end. several more are backwards!

Gotta go for now. More later.

So we go back to the Halloween almost hatch. We do have an Igor - the wry neck chick is doing better, so she should have a name.

The splay legged insane thing is Icabod. So ungainly he's cute. Had to hobble him three times before I made one that would stay on. He runs and tumbles around the brooder like he's the Energizer bunny on speed.

There's a barred blue rock rooster who will go by Pugsley, holy cow he's a handful already. Anyone in TN want one of Halo's blue rock roos? He's into everything, pecking at hands, hygrometers, fan casing, towels, toys anything that moves and everything that doesn't.

There's a tiny Sizzle dark blue and a larger light blue or splash that are fine and still drying. Littlest one Phantom, lighter one Spook.

The two GCMs are still drying but a lot like Delawares in nature. They're a mess from hatching - they might be Muck and OOze for awhile.

The three blue rocks that are probably girls are so funny and so sweet already. They'll have to sort themselves out to get names though, they're pretty close in appearance.

Best of luck to all of you still holding your breath!

WWD ... Love those pictures. So sorry she's gone. Best wishes for hatching those eggs!

Good luck to you ALL ! ! Sue, Ripley, Mayapooh, Luvmybob, evonne, nef, asyllum, WWD, 3Chickens, denasfarm, vicki2x2, and ALL the rest of you ...! Keep the info comin' in. I love reading it all. I have to leave for work in an hour, but will be able to keep checkin' in.

I have another Marans almost out, and 2 more Marans piped. I see one SLPR pip, but can't really see the others well. I hope those silly chicks decide to join this party pretty soon! They are sure keepin' me sweatin'!
