Hooray Hooray Hooray!!!

EARLY HATCH!!! So far I have 3 out of the 4 eggs left out and drying this morning. I think 2 are Japanese Bantams for sure, 1 I can't tell until it is dry and I can handle it. I put 6 under her, 2 silkie eggs, and 4 JB. 2 eggs broke day 2 and only 4 left, but I didn't know which was which.

My goodness they are super cute!!!

Put my eggs in lockdown today. Out of the 24 purchased Buckeye eggs only 13 made it to lockdown. When I broke the clear ones only two had blood rings and the other 9 didn't look like they were fertile. My 12 NH eggs on the other hand are all growing nicely and all went into lockdown as did my 3 duck eggs and my 2 cochin eggs. Kind of a bummer about the Buckeyes but I did expect some failure rate - just hope the 13 all hatch ok since I really want these chicks to thrive! I am sure my own eggs will have at least an 85 % hatch rate. Now to sit on my hands and keep them away from the bator - I can't help but fuss over the eggs - leave it alone leave it alone leave it alone.......hmmm I better go check the bator!
