Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[ChickyChickyBaby]

Marking my place for tomorrow.......or later when I wake up after sleeping off some of this RelPax......

I have a rooster crowing outside. Guess he is celebrating too!

 

[aka Rachel]

This lil guy finally hatched! He started at about fifteen minutes to midnight.

So, introducing my first baby of 2011

Tomorrow (well, today) I am gonna vaccinate all my new chicks for Mareks. I have never done this before, so this will be a new experience for me.

Looks like a shoe-in for a winner to me! Congratulations!

Gotta wait and see how the east coast and others do, but I bet you may be a contender!

Congrats on your New Year's Chick! Woot woot!

I think it's time for everyone to head to bed. I've got a 5 month old and a 20 month old that somehow are still awake (though napped earlier). My boys don't go to bed well without mommy.

Good night all, here's to hoping to awaken to a chick in the bator in the morning.

We still have almost 3 hours to go until midnight! I have 8 chicks out and lots of pips, so will be waiting to see if I get a close-to-new-year chick! Good hatching vibes to all, and Happy New Year to those already there!

 

[kathyinmo]

My pips are no where near hatching, so good luck to all you contenders!

I came back down to check the bator. I have four pips that haven't made progress. Two others rocking and one Icelandic zipping. The Icelandic will most likely be out before midnight and I can't imagine the others even being close. One is barely enlarging the pip it made hours ago.

Oops the icelandic just popped out! Dark & light colored with slate legs. It has a bit of a yolk sac still unabsorbed but it is free of the shell. Hopefully it will be just fine. I haven't had that happen with my Icelandics. I now have a MFC zipping. Still living the dream of winning!
