I have one pipped right now. When it hatches if there are no more pips, I will candle.

There's been an awful lot of poop discussion the past few pages.

Even Mahonri's not immune.

Of all the various breeds and mixes in this hatch , your TJ's eggs are trhe ones that intrigued me the most . I've forgotten how many made it to lockdown , are there still some in the oven ?

Five made it to lockdown, three have hatched. Plus the lone BR chick; there is one possible BR left, too.
I have a few photos to share *ahem* from work tomorrow. W

This is what I came home to this afternoon.

And this is what I just got to watch!

Almost out of the shell

All out and tuckered out!
I have one more egg that might be viable. I will check it once the new one is fluffed up enough to go to the brooder.
