Sorry I didn't get in on this thread earlier, I don't now how many chicks yet but the bottom is full and there are still a few chicks on the top egg rack.

That's a lot of fluff. congrats on all those chicks.

How many eggs do you have in there?

 

[swheat]

I have 6 trays that hold 59 eggs(total 354 eggs) and I can also put cut an egg carton in half length wise and put 6 eggs between the blue trays, so that would be another 18 eggs for a total 372 eggs.. and my other cabinet is almost full...I usually have hatches every week.

I do sell some Dominique chicks, but the other I raise for show or some projects I have going on. Just an expensive hobby !!

I have in LF: Dominique, Barred Cochin, GL Cochin Bantams: Cochins(13), Japanese(3), Polish(4), Rosecombs(8),Silkies(8), Seramas(2),

The number in () is the number of varieties I have in that breed...if I didn't miss one or two. LOL

ok lastnight when I got home from work I had one egg with 2 little pecks (or whatever you call it pips?) and one egg that is
moving around, like shaking back and forth. What do I do..... this morning still nothing more has happened
How long does it take for them to hatch out?

 

[cletus the rooster]

10 out of 26 so far with a steady amount of pips

The little peck ones could take 24 hours to get out of the shell.
(scientific approach to getting out)

The moving and shaking eggs are normally a lot quicker getting out of the shell . . .
(bull in a china shop attitude)

At least that is what I am observing in my hatch. . . movers and shakers are out within a few hours.
They just seem to skip the whole pecking stage and go straight to busting loose !
