It's Almost Hatch Day!

Those ones you mentioned sound like they should be ready to hatch tomorrow I hope they'll all hatch for you!

Final update on the eggs! I had 5 more chicks hatch from 10:00am on Sunday to 6:30pm that same day. One egg was left and externally pipped Sunday but pipped in the wrong end of the egg. I helped it hatch yesterday on Monday when it seemed to be done absorbing the yolk and seemed to be trying to zip but couldn't. He's doing okay so far, but seems to be having trouble fluffing out fully and it's too early to say whether he'll make it or not (although he is eating and drinking with the rest of them).

This is the one I had to help (the only black one surprisingly)

Thought I should update to say that the little weak black chick survived and is doing well so far! I was afraid to get too attached to him/her cause of all his/her issues, but it seems he/she is a little fighter
