We are on our Second hatch now 38 eggs - 4 uncertain it was hard to see through the dark green eggs.

Roo is Buff Orpington

Hens are : BO, BA, RIR, EE, BR, LB, CM, and I think thats it lol

I hear chirping but no pips yet I am sure they will come soon , the incubator is packed full so its hard to see any wiggling until one hatches and makes room for the others.


Good luck everyone hatching today

My lockdown was yesterday also. I have 6 BLRW that made it to lockdown. I haven't heard any peeping yet and can't stand it

My lockdown was yesterday, and mine are on the early side! Had two pips yesterday morning, and those two hatched last night. As of now, 4 chicks and a few more pipped.

My lockdown was yesterday morning for my Brinsea Eco 20 and my homemade incubator. Last night I had one pip. By noon today I have 8 out in the Brinsea and more pipping and zipping. Have a couple of pips in the homemade.

We locked down last night and already had our first pip at the time of lockdown. He/she is about 80% zipped now, and there are 2 more additional pips.

We are having stormy weather here, and I hope the power doesn't go out!

Seems like a lot of chickies want out early this year

I hope so, i know some times it is hard to hear them over the fan, other times they are extremely loud.

Still have till Saturday for everyone to fully hatch out.
