Still nothing on mine and I am getting very jealous of everyone with babies. That mystery egg is driving me nuts and watch it be the last one to hatch!

Lets see what the count is for me.

1 Wheaten Marans this has to be a roo and he is HUGE, feathered shanks and feet
1 "Orange" Marans... it came out of one of my brown eggs but I don't know if it came out of Chooks Chicks or onthespots egg. Egg was VERY dark, chick is huge and has feathered shanks and feet.
10 FBCMs, 3 from my coop, most from Renee's
3 Icelandics. They are some frisky little buggers,
5 W/BW Ameraucanas... most from Halo's eggs.
________________________________________________
20 total.... still not up to my goal of 30... maybe I'll get a few from Laree.

3 unpipped eggs in the hovabator, 2 FBCMS, 1 halo w/bw Ameraucana

18 unpipped eggs in the brinsea... 8 Icelandics, 10 various others. some are EEs from halo, others from onthespot.

I hope the brinsea keeps pipping... do you ever just have 3 early Icelandics and then wait hours and hours for the others to hatch???

I finally have a pip in one of the Blue Copper Marans eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course somebody pips just as I am getting ready to leave for a while!

How long can I keep the chicks in with the bator with the unhatched eggs (yet) before I move them to the brooder? One hatched out at 7:45 this am, can they stay until tomorrow with no ill effects?

I'd be pulling it out after 12-18 hours... but that's just me.

ORANGE??

I wanna see!! I don't have anything that could be orange unless you got some weird mutation. Show us a pic!! Wouldn't it be cool if you had a progenitor to a Red Marans line?

The chick will be just fine in there until tomorrow morning. Congrats!

Yes, they will be fine until tomorrow. I leave mine in for sometimes 48 hours until everyone is done hatching. They can go up to 72 hours on the yolk they absorb.
