My hatch cam is now live!

#3 is zipping along, I think it'll be out pretty quick too.

You guys, they weren't due until tomorrow night. I have no idea why they're hatching early. If anything I expected them late because they did most of their incubating in my basement, which is kind of cold.
 
I went to put the hatched chicks in the brooder and remove the eggshells so everyone would have a little more space and discovered a fourth chick had hatched when I wasn't paying attention. It was even an egg I hadn't noticed had pipped.

At this point, I have three more eggs in the incubator, and all three are pipped.
 
Nope, three more still to hatch. All three are pipped, but seem to be resting. I moved the camera to the incubator and am going to bed. I'll bet I miss at least two of them hatching while I sleep.

One of the ones left (in the middle) was in the fridge 8-10 days before I stuck it in the incubator. The one on the far right was set with some minor (unrepaired) cracking at the fat end, and pipped in kind of a weird spot. The third egg, on the far left, was set about 12 hours after everyone else.
 
The four chicks that hatched are in the brooder now we are waiting to see thise eggs hatch.
Ahhhh. Thanks. Watching it right now.
