we've barely started day 21 - and we have 3 babies out and 2 more pipped that I can see - still waiting on the rest LOL they are SO cute! 2 EE and 1 mix - just adorable!

Waiting patiently - got the brooder ready, but don't want to open anything till we are out of room or things are done.

Okay - 4th little guy hatched - he got out of his egg, fell into another and got stuck - he was there so long he had dried into the other shell - SO, I covered the homemade bator with a large beach towel (w/ my dd help) and stuck my hand in and pulled out the first 3 - then the 4th guy. I got him unstuck and took a warm wash cloth to loosen up his leg and wing (as they were stuck to his side). I found he had a weak/curled foot so I took a piece of cardboard and a bandaid and fixed that. I kept him wrapped in a towel upstairs with me for a couple of house this morning until I knew he was warmed up. I just put him back in with his family, and they are looking good.

we have another pip and my dd saw another egg rock. We are aproaching the end of day 21, so still plenty of time to hatch out more babies.
