4 babies so far (21 days is late tonight). We have 3 Barred Bantam Cochins and 1 Penedesenca. 2 of the BBC's hatched late last night, so I took them out tonight. The other 2 are still wet in the bator with the eggs still to hatch

These guys are SO tiny. I can't wait for the Serama babies next week...fingers crossed

So tonight marks the end of DAY 21 and still 9 eggs have yet to PIP (3 have hatched)! Am i just being impatient and anxious? Shouldn't i have seen some action by now? How 'bout the rest of you? And for your very experienced hatchers, whats the longest you've waited for a hatch?
 
I have another hatchling and this time its from one of my eggs

I got mine from someone who got them in Texas as day old chicks. Egg color ranges a LOT, from dark regular brown looking eggs to DARK wet terra cotta pot color (what I want and what the breed is known for). I'm hatching lots of babies right now for next year's *eating* egg selling layer stock and as proof of fertility. From now on, I'll only be hatching the darkest eggs for retaining into my breeding stock
