I don't remember the gallon size because I bought it a good 7 years ago. It measures about 1' wide by 2.5' long. I figure they'll outgrow it in two weeks or so. At that time, I have one of those big rubbermaid totes that I'll put them in in the basement. I think it's waaaaay too cold for them to be outside. I probably won't take them outside until they're fully feathered, which will be 3 months or so.

so about a 20 gallon long. Ya I have some incubating now and being in the same state I dont plan on putting them outside to till Easter if I am lucky.

All right, here's pictures of all 6 chicks

Chick #1: Godzilla. Godzilla never bothered pipping into the air cell- went directly out from the small side of the egg. The air cell in the egg was still intact!

Chick #2: HULKSMASH. Hulksmash didn't pip as much as it should've, and kept trying to smash its' way out. After 27 hours of this, I finally intervened by chipping away a couple tiny chunks of egg. It then popped out with monster truck force.

Chick #3: hatched at 2:30 am. Did everything the way it was supposed to.

Chick #4: hatched this morning. Pipped, but did nothing til about 8am, and then zipped and hatched within an hour or so.

Chick #5: Tried to race with #4, but lost the race by a close margin.

Chick #6: Daisy. Everything as expected with her.

Hulksmash, chick #5 and chick #6 look most like my expectation of what a GLW would look like. I'm really excited to watch these little chicks grow up.

(edited to add photos of chick #6)

I didn't know anyone was still watching!! I was thinking I'd turn it off, that nobody cared anymore since they were hatched and the picture was so bad.

don't turn it off please!

Is the 7th egg still in the incubator? Or did you decide to give up on it? I'm curious b/c I really loved the float test idea.
