My SLWs are

as I'm typing, I'm so excited! Fingers crossed no yellow chickies will pop out, as we've found recessive white in our flock... Well; new roo and the split for white hen isn't laying anymore!

We started out with 18 eggs (all fertile), lost one at 2 days, one at 5 days and one (maybe 2) later than 10 days... I've left those 2 in, and it looks like one of them is pipping! Both looked different than the rest at last candling, so I assumed they were lost.. The other one had swirly stuff in it at last candling before lockdown though

As of now we have one out and running about in the bator, one almost out of the shell and 7 others pipping! And those two I can see are black so

Sorry for rambling, just wanted to share

Thanks

I just wish they could hurry up and get out quickly!

FIVE out, which is hopefully exactly one third of the total chicks that will hatch... It's looking to be a long night!
