Hatching Today!

I love orpingtons although I don't currnelty have any. Predator got my three buffs last year and I have not replaced them. Seems like things are going well for everyone hatching and that's great! Lunch time update: 2 more hatched...now up to 6 total. 7 pips and 3 zipping. Keep the vibes coming! The house is full of peeping. Love it!
 
Congratulations

Question: Anyone know why the beak is so red?

Hummm. Wait and see if it looks like that after it's dry. It's the first one out so it'll be the boss but the other might peak at it if it stays that bright red. Just watch it.
 
3/7 Hatched
3/7 Pipped
1/7 Zipping

So far it looks like a blue orp, 1 black or blue australorp? (judging by the yellow underbelly or maybe that's buff??) and a 1 black orp

Have been home with the a cold aka the hatch since noon. Now at 5:00pm I have 10 hatched and 7 more pipping. Bodyflight, you are own your way to a 100% hatch. That's perfect. I got my first 100% hatch Jan 28th. It's a good feeling to know everyone made it and that your candling skills are accurate.

I hoped your last two bring it on and get you to 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck all others hatching now and over the next few days. Inlcude us in the journey!

I actually timed my eggs by drawing a chart and documenting the time of pip to zip to hatch so I can get my own averages to work with going forward. So far my average is about 8hrs 30minutes from pip to hatch. Some took as long as 11 hours and other less than 6 or 7.
Neat stuff!
 
15 Hatched and 6 more pipped. Hatch is now going on 36 hours since the first pipe. More to come.

48 hour results 23 hatched out of 31 for a 74.19% hatch rate. Not to bad for my second attempt. I left the bator running to see if a few late comers might still arrive. Continued good luck to all others hatching.
