Hatch day. 1 chick has hatched. It's a dark colored Hedemora. It's chirping loudly. Sure hope another chick will hatch so that he will have a buddy.

This is emergency! ! Lost the only 2 that hatched last try on transfer. Now have two blacks in same situation. Perhaps it's shipped eggs not good idea for me. I am so sad. First, lost light and larger dark last time..this time 2 darks..
I dare not take them from incubator. Last time they died. I have hatched many in past. Just non so fragile.
I'm so sad.
Congrats! That doesn't sound like an unheard of rate for shipped eggs (I had two hatch out of eight eggs my first time with shipped ones). Best of luck with themThanks for the replies. Out of 8 shipped eggs I have only 2 that hatched yesterday. They are adorable dark chicks. Both are black with a touch of white. The legs are feathered. I'm trying to post photo but am having trouble posting pic to this forum.
