The first picture I was supposed to post Yesterday morning but I was a little busy with other things. This is my lock down picture just before I closed the lid. inside the cage I have Red Leghorn eggs up top so they are not confused with my Red Bird Dark Egg project birds. I may be moving this spring so that project will be passed on to the lady who buys most of my chickens. She wants Dark Eggers and I have production Reds with very dark eggs. Darker than my Maran hen lays. The other eggs in the cage are Ayam Cemani, not that they needed caging but I had to put them somewhere so in the cage they go. the small Eggs are Seramas. The whitest eggs are Silver Leghorns. 2 tan eggs over to the left are Naked Necks. The Dark eggs as I mentioned above are my Dark Egg Red Bird project eggs.

This tonight, just moments ago I took pictures of the pipped eggs
View attachment 1952785 At the top is an egg I marked "Dead?" Its a serama that didn't look right when I went into lock down but figured I would give it a chance anyways. Turns out it was the first to pip.

I also noticed that there was some egg shell on the floor of the incubator... Up top you can see a Silver Leghorn just pipped.

So crazy how you’ve always got random early activity!!!! Fingers crossed for a great hatch!!!

2 silver Leghorns have hatched, some Seramas have pips

Keep us posted! Also, I saw your signature with your horses! I have Arabians, so, we see lots of ASB and Hackney crosses at the shows.

Pipping turned out to be false alarm I've got the egg on lockdown though, and it has good movement, so here's hoping!

Yay! Another horse person! Arabian people really outcross to Hackney's? I though they wouldn't do that because of the small size...

Yay! That’s good news, it’ll be closer to the rest of the hatch anyway!

Great hatch! Sorry about the low legbar rates.

I used coloured Zip Tie to leg tag them .
