Hatch Day!! - FINAL TALLY UPDATE!!

[Goblnfvr]

Well today is day 21 and my eggs started pipping last night at 7pm.
Had 3 pipped before I went to bed - up at various hours during the night to check on them and a few more were pipped.
Up at 4am and down to the incubator.
First one hatched at 5:50 and the second at 6:26.
Out of the 14 eggs i started with I lost 3 at the beginning and at this point I have two hatched and 6 more pipped.
3 more to wait on to pip

Looks like it is going to be a great day.








FINAL TALLY!

Well I went 10 for 11 eggs.
All beautiful chicks!
First one hatched at 5:50am and the last one at 7:00pm.
It was an exciting day.

They had a half hour or so after hatch in the incubator to dry out a bit and then into the brooder tank.
They had a great day on Sunday afternoon outside picking and scratching in the dirt and eating any little bug that moved.
They just loved the worms i dug up for them.

Ahhh! So sweet! I love watching them poking their little beaks out to say, "here I am!"

That's so exciting! I had my first hatch in March, thanks to a very committed broody hen -- the experience has been amazing, but we couldn't actually watch the chicks hatch since they were under mama hen! Love your pictures! Congrats!
