Hi all -
We've had 6 out of 11 chicks hatch yesterday (Day 20), 3 more were zipping, and 2 had internally pipped.
These eggs are ones that on Day 10, we lost power and I brought the eggs to bed with me for about 6 hours.
One bit of warning - I did put a layer of cheesecloth down (to make it easy for cleanup), and when I woke up, one of the chicks had wrapped one of it's legs around the cheesecloth twice. It's leg was a bit swollen, but after we removed the cheesecloth, the swelling seemed to go down after a couple of hours. Hope it's going to be ok.
