I have pips..

I have PIPS!

A day late, but I have six little broken shell spots out of 15 eggs. Day 21 was yesterday. I guess being at 97 degrees slowed them down a bit. I hope they don't suffer for it.

Oh, and I found out Broody Hens go into "lockdown" too - only I call it "Pancake"

The broody silkie outside is very very flat. She is only about 5" high and almost covers a 12" x12" area... wow!

I have found with hatching, in my noobness, patience is the hardest part. I have a BCM that just pip'd day 24. Still waiting for some zipping but seems to be doing well. Congrats on the pips!!

Donna does not have the skills to make this hatcher. I can take pictures of me putting the mechanicals in.
