Hatch-Along - Anyone planning to hatch out around St. Patrick's Day?

Batch one is ~6 hours into day 21 with 2 pips and peeping going on so far.

I bet! Never gets old, does it?

No, it doesn't. I squealed like a little girl when I heard the first peep, lol. My last hatch was 2019 EHAL, so it was time!
Both pips are Ameraucanas.

The first pip is now zipping! Yay!

It's Lockdown Day for me!

I turned up the humidity and placed napkins on the floor of the incubator. I candled them and found 5 duds and 1 that appears to have died around day ten. This is a great improvement as in last hatch (my first) I had around 5-6 die!

So that leaves me with 18 eggs in the 'bator (13 silkie and 5 barnyard mix). I am pretty excited as two of them are EE-polish mixes! I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Now for the wait...

First to hatch, Ameraucana:

Four more pips, an EE, another Ameraucana, a frizzle OE, and a side-pipped Sebrights/Mille Fleur mix. I thought yesterday's second pip, Ameraucana, was starting to zip. But now I think the chick pecked at it.
I want to pull the chick and clean it up, but will have to patiently wait until another hatches. It isn't loud, and it isn't playing soccer with the other eggs, fortunately.
