[alexa009]

So egg-citing!!! My chicks hatched Thanksgiving!!!! It was neat! I didn't even want to leave the incubator!!!

Lots of great advice on this thread and looking forward to seeing pics of fluffy chicks soon hardest part is waiting just be patient and let those babies do their thing

We are good at hand-holding so just hang in there. The pip is a good one, she has plenty of breathing space. Now is the really hard part for us humans....patience!

C'mon little chickies.

Ok, tell us about the eggs, what breed? Where did you get them? Do you have the parent flock? Is this your first hatch?

I remember y'all doing this with me when my goose egg was hatching..
The equivalent of sending dad for hot water when Mom is in labor!

We have a baby!!! I'm pretty sure this is my full speckled sussex. My Too is speckled Sussex and I have a variety of hens. I know the blue egg is my araucana is gone now(hoping her egg hatches). I have amberlink dekalb, golden comets, buffs, RIR, red leghorn.
This is my first hatch, but I've had baby chicks before.

She seems very tired, is that normal?

If I don't have another one pipping should I remove her when she's dry.

Awwww...love it. Yes, tired is normal. Once she's dry and fluffy, if no more have hatched, I would move her. But others may have different opinions on that. So wait for others and do what works best for you and her.
