Lockdown chick bingo. Chicks hatching 6/4

[buckock]

Happy 4-day week crazy chicken people. I have about 30 eggs going into lockdown tonight for a weekend (Saturday) hatch. I am planning to number them so we can all play bingo. Feel free to join us. We’re making cards (nothing fancy) like the one attached. Each number (egg) will get a half mark for pipping externally and a full mark for hatching (twice the fun). Here’s a sample card for reference. In the marked card

example, egg 15 has pipped and egg 4 has hatched. It’s not an official contest… just a fun idea I thought I would share.

The chicks are Silver Wyandotte, BYM, and 2 Wyandotte shipped eggs (the only 2 out of 18 that made it this far).

Fun idea! If only I was hatching eggs right now...

That’s the fun part, you can play along with this hatch. I’ll post updates whenever we have a pip or hatch!

I hope everyone has their bingo cards. Nos 9, 10, and 11 pipped early. This is Day 19! Never had that happen before! I'm a bit worried about the BYM eggs as they didn't feel warm enough when I put them on lockdown. I hope there wasn't a power problem! I candled one this morning and they don't look stellar - still a lot of liquid around the embryo and the veining is pretty faint.

Nothing stops those Wyandottes, No. 1 has now pipped.

That's 1, 9, 10, and 11 (all silver laced Wyandotte). No. 1 is on the wrong end so it may take a little longer to hatch.

Number 8 has pipped. That's 1, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Anyone for pip-ingo?

I’ll stop posting numbers since i think it’s annoying. But… #5 alive!

I had 12 in the incubator 2 hatched on day 19 and one so far on day 20. This is my first hatch, didn't realize it was unusual. How have the rest done?
