19 hatched already and #20 just pipped. I hit the horrible "goal" of over 50 chickens currently on my property! I have to get rid of them! Abort mission!

Just checking in. I have two pipped, but still no chicks. One has been pipped since last night. Isn't looking good here.

Don't worry. I had some pipped for 24 hours before they hatched.

"Lucky" is in the brooder, trying to dry off.

Black Icelandic that couldn't zip all the way is in the recovery bator.

Pip the same on Icelandic as last time.

Last egg... not pipped yet.

Quick update:

I have 5 silkies!

Don't worry acid chipmunk. My first pip was at around 7:30 last night and it didn't hatch until just now. It actually wound up being the second chick hatched. Once he started zipping he went to town. Actually beat the one that is about 2/3 zipped out!

Second chick out!

Great picture! I'm glad you don't get the consolation prize for worst hatch rate!

Judges4, I was hoping to wake up and see a few pips in my bator and to read that yours were progressing as well. Sorry that didn't happen. I'm pretty disappointed, as well. This was our first try hatching, and it was all going so well

I still refuse to call it "a bust" until tomorrow. (but I'm practicing my concession speech)

Happy to see all the cute babies that hatched out last night. Steve, your chickie has a beard! So cute. I love the little chick on the red table cloth. What a pic! How precious that chick thought the stuffed animal was mama! I'm loving these.
