Let the games begin! First attempt at hatching in 25 years.

They are rocking and we can hear peeping! No pips yet, but a number of the eggs are pretty active right now.

Still just one pip that I can see. Bunch of rock and roll going on in there though! They are due tomorrow evening officially, so I am not expecting much more pipping other than the early bird.

Guess I should get the brooder ready and go buy some chick starter today. Nothing like waiting till the last minute to make a project seem urgent.

Make that two pips!

Also have a new litter of bunnies! Momma gave birth to a litter of 9 last night. One was stillborn, but the other 8 are doing fine so far.
