Mid march hatch a long

Well, 7 eggs went into lockdown, 6 have hatched and one just pipped (he's late to the party). Cross your fingers! #5 actually needed some help, he pipped at the wrong end of the egg and made no progress for 24 hours. So I helped him out of the shell this morning. It was nerve-wracking, I was so terrified I'd hurt him. But he's out and looks healthy, just really tired. He didn't need much help, I just had to get the shell started for him around his pip and then he kicked his way free. Hopefully I did the right thing.
 
My eggs finished hatching at 4am this morning! I ended up with 17/19. Not bad for my first time! Aww.. my living-room has been overrun with fuzzy butts!! :lol:
 
My eggs aren't due to hatch until March 24th!! Is anyone else on this hatchalong with that date or should I join another group.

I SO wanted to see photos of baby chicks!! With all those hatches where are the pictures!!

Especially those welsummers
