I have some hatching right now that will be shipped out tomorrow.

I just shipped off 28 of the chicks to Colorado. Now I have to go fetch the rest out of the incubator to get a final head count. I had 44 go into lock down.

I hatched 44 chicks, but the original count was 56 not 44 because I had a whole tray of 48 plus an extra row plus two eggs.​

That's great, Jean!

Did you take pictures?​

I didn't have anything going on and decided to hold my candler to one of my eggs for just a second, saw him trying to internally pip! That was yesterday and still no external pip, is it ok to take so long between internal and external pip?
And NYRIR congrats! That's awesome!!!

3 lavender cochin chicks out!!! They're loud little buggers, too! I can see 2 or 3 more pips.

I swear these are superman chicks - it's only been a max of four hours from pip to hatching - one even did it in two!
