Wow, lots of eggs. You have some nice looking ones. Can you tell me which ones are silkies? I just had a few silky mix hatch. Wondering what the hens eggs will look like...they are not cockerels..they are not cockerels, they are not cockerels!

That had to be fun!! Get some sleep. They will wake you up when they hatch..they make a lot of noise when they pop out...usually.

Or wait..you probably want to watch like I did until 1:30 this morning.

Aww, I'm tellin ya, it just makes you want to kiss on these little babies...ok, anyone want to fess up on actually kissing their baby chicks?
Ok I'll go first...I didn't use to...but lately, I give them light little kisses

and, I love to snuggle the new ones when they just love having you hold them because they think you are mom.

I kiss mine!!!!!! And rub them against my face!!!

4 Eggs due to hatch tomorrow. Heard peeping and tapping this morning. Tonight, went to check and found two chicks- dry and fuzzy. Went out just now, and I peeked underneath her to see my tiny silver spangled hamburg finish zipping, pop her head out, and then come tumbling out of the shell, so wet and tiny! Amazing little new life!

Two Easter Eggers- the red one was just about dry and fluffy, the grey one was already hopping around, trying to eat the alfalfa hay

Little Silver Spangled Hamburg with the detached air cell actually made it out! The only detached air cell egg to develop- the other 6 never started.

External pip last night, no progress this morning. Still cheeping and moving. But no more work done on the egg. When should he hatch??

 

[casslarrabee225]

As I was just watching, he pipped another star shaped crack right next to the one he made last night. Is that normal? Is he on his way out??

Sounds like he is on his way and starting to "zip"...should go quicker now. Enjoy!
