Mahonri's 2nd Annual BYC EASTER HATCH. Post pics of your chicks!

[LarryPQ]

MOrning all! No new progress this morning.

Maybe more pips, I can't tell.

My original zipper is still in there. After a cuppa, I am going to go see if he needs help out. Then I am going to jack up the humidity.

TECHNICALLY, my chicks weren't due until tomorrow, so I am not overly worried yet. Still, any time I have a crudload of early hatchers, the remainder seem to be duds.

Very jealous! What a beautiful sight.

Sooo,.... this is my first time hatching. I assumed that they would mostly be hatching on Saturday, perhaps Friday if they were running warm or Sunday if running cool. Am I incorrect? Should I have some hatching already? .....

I have exactly NOTHING happening, and it doesn't bother me a bit. I know my chicks will come out right on time, and these fast little go-getters can't make me worry one iota!

Don't fret if you're still sitting pretty- it's very odd that all these folks have things cracking so early.

No DO NOT WORRY! They are not due till Sat., my eggs are sitting quietly in the bator so you are not the only one.

I'm shocked about all these early hatchers. I NEVER have early hatchers. If my chicks aren't on time, they are late. And ya'll are having them hatch 3 DAYS early!!

Okay, thank you for the reassurance!

I was nervous already, and it was only getting worse. Deep breath. Look for distractions...
I am a teacher, so I originally timed my hatch this way so I'd be home on spring break. Now it's become endless hours to check the temperature and humidity, fuss with the brooder... (But I am having fun.

) C'mon, chickies!

Yet another correction... I reported last night that I put 22 into lockdown.. It sould be 23. Other than the fact that I can't count

, I still can't believe I have pips.. This is just awesome. Hopefully it means I won't have any late hatchers this time around..

Congratulations on your surprise egg, Ms. Fuzzybutts!

I have one turkey hatched, one zipped and another pipped.

Sadly, I think that may be all I'm getting out of my 20 turkey eggs
