My First Hatch-A-Long-- Herb Theme (first hatch EVER)

[peachRN]

I just popped in and said good morning to the little babies!!! I told them its almost time to get cracka lackin'

I just woke up and it's offline, I need to get back to sleep for night shift later but I'll get in there and set another stream up.

Edit-- we lost power for a minute, the new zoom link is here https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84843052346?pwd=2bKsynOlLXVuyKpgqCyCnzP3JGrVge.1

Day 20 (ish-- keep in mind that I see the eggs in the evening, so technically we're still in the middle of day 19).

I came home from work just now to find that egg #9, Nutmeg, has pipped. I can hear chirping If you're tuned in to the live stream, it's the Black Copper Maran egg that's second from the left, right up front.
I turned the light off in the room the incubator is in, because as the sun rises it'll just add to the glare. Things on the live stream should be more visible within the next hour or two.

Everyone else is quiet and still as can be. Let's go, babies!!

Eggs #7 and 10, Clove and Rosemary, have also pipped. I could almost convince myself that I something starting on one of the silkie eggs, but I think I'm just seeing things.

No more progress on #9, but I still hear peeping.

Edit an hour later-- eggs #8, 11 (our scrambled egg baby), 4, and one of the barnyard mixes (can't see the number) have also pipped. I might have a baby or two by the time I get home from work in the morning.

The zoom keeps needing to be rebooted, here's the most recent link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84669290723?pwd=zb9WpV1gXUAzN4e8KZeF9ra1jh8eij.1

#9, Nutmeg, is out! I don't have any good pictures yet because Im watching over zoom at work.

Our scrambled egg, Parsley (#11) also hatched and is running around the brooder with Nutmeg on hardcore egg watch tonight!

I can't get good pictures because they're all over the place, but as of 8 a.m. on day 21, 10 out of 14 have hatched. I see pips on 2 more of those eggs. Here's who we have so far:

#1, Sage
Unknown silkie
#6, Thyme
#7, Clove
#8, Dill
#9, Nutmeg
#10, Rosemary
#11, Parsley
#13, Fennel
#14, Anise

#12 is the last BCM we're waiting on, and it hasn't pipped yet. #15 has pipped and is zipping. #2 is pipping.

The only two eggs that I don't see anything happening yet are #12 and #3. We still have time!
