March 2023 hatch-a-long

[Tumbleweedlynn]

Four pips at last check about 15 minutes ago, but cheeps galore. Thank goodness the bator is about seven feet from my bed, I’m really going to be up all night

I would prefer that over that long wait for the first pip, any day

@Kikilu what are you doing up?

of my 2 batches of separate farm eggs due on Monday, the first batch, I think only one started to develop and and then quit. The problem? They only have 1 rooster, and they wash eggs.
The second batch green ones, that I had hatched from before, had big air cells. I set them any way. All were fertile, as expected, but on day 10 all quit but 4. (because of the over large air cells)
They are on day 19/20 or so, and one pipped. I have s second I am sure is also going to hatch, maybe just the 2.

My other eggs, due on the 30th are from the same farm, better cells. Are still 11 of a doz. going.

Another pip on the books, on one of the RIR eggs. Grateful, as I could never see anything on these. Sorry, I’ll quit blowing this up with every little pip. Maybe.
