My first BBS bantam orp chick has hatched!!!!!

[shelleyb1969]

13 out of 15 sizzle eggs from sarahssizzles made it into the hatcher.

Plus, I set 6 eggs from my own BBS bantam Orps...and 5 of those made it

...
Plus+plus 2 for 2 of my red frizzled bantam cochin/blue bantam orp mutt eggs

.

So, 20 eggs due to hatch this Friday...but I can't stop checking that bator looking for pips!

My kids keep staring at mine looking for pips. I tell them, wait till Saturday, but they all want to be the first to see some action.
