Hatching Pics (first hatch over, second one starting!)

[speckledhen]

#6 Del is out after a long hard struggle. #7 has a double pip and the last two are doing nothing. After #7 hatches, if those haven't pipped, I may candle them after a bit to see if there is any need to wait for them. Then the second batch should begin hatching.

That giant baby has a head like a bulldog! HUGE!

Sorry about that, crazychicken. Hope your house sells really soon!

#7 is zipping and #8 finally has a pip. Still waiting on #9 to tell me if it's still with us or not.

#6 is having a very hard time. Just lays there, breathing hard with eyes closed. I'm not counting it out, though, since I've had them look to be in worse shape and they rallied in a day or so.

I removed the last two eggs, one of which is pipped, and put them in the other bator with the batch that is on Day 20. Candled the last egg and it's alive in there, but taking a long time to decide to come out and play. Then, we scrubbed up that bator, set it back up and it's coming up to temp now in prep for starting 33 Delaware eggs.

Silly, hope you get more babies in your hatch.

It sounds like someone caught the "hatching bug."

You evicted 2 babies from the bator to start the next batch

(Because I have come Dels so much, I will say that there is nothing more exciting than watching them hatch

)

I can't wait to do it over again. It sounds like you can't wait either

Will you post pics when they are dry and fluffy?

 

[speckledhen]

Sure, I'll post pics, Kathy. Actually, I will be selling the next batch to help with some bills. It's fun to hatch then not have to brood more than a few days and start all over again, LOL.
