One hatched! Really clean no blood or anything. Don't know what breed but it hatched black (I assume from the moisture) and now it's fluffing up blue/grey. Bi colored beak black and tan and black feet. If anyone has any idea what this chick could be let me know!

I have a thread and I don't care at all if folks post pics in it.

I don't even have any rocking eggs.

Congrats on your babies!

I saw this thread a couple of days ago but since my hatch was in doubt and has been operating under Murphy's law from the start, I didn't even start to read it 'till now for fear I would jinx it further.

Hope it isn't too late to join the party?

My cousin had promised to set some eggs for me to hatch while I visited this week. I called her on the 9th to remind her -- yup, she forgot

So she popped 3 dozen cold eggs into her cold incubator and turned it on. When we arrived late on the 26th, it was to the news that the bator door got left open a little about halfway thru', and that one egg had exploded and contaminated quite a few others.

crossed my fingers and hoped for the best, went on to PA and told her I would be back today [well, yesterday, I see it is past midnight]. I tried to call several times this week w/no answer, finally got hold of her Tuesday night to ask if they were in lockdown. I had been following the threads about all the folks who lost power in last week's storm who still had hatches and was feeling better about my chances. But, when I called [day 20] she had forgotten to turn off the auto turner.

But she did it then. When I got here at 6 on the 30th [6.5 hours ago], she reported she tho't she heard a peep and I saw 2 pips, and now there are 3 pips & definately peeping, so maybe - just maybe!

I just emptied my camera and took my 1st 2 pics [of eggs in the bator].

Now I guess it is 'wait-n-watch'

but think I will try to get a nap.

This waiting is giving more grey hair!

The GOOD news is that she has a Styrofoam bator she is willing to give me, along with all the fertile eggs laid yesterday [6], today and tomorrow to take back to TN and try out all of the info I have gleaned on BYC on how to do it right - while waiting for my 'big day' [today].

Pictures to follow if miracles happen today!!! dited for spelling, punctuation & clarity
