Yes to the getting attached ! This is only my second hatch. In both I’ve used my 360 and smaller Kebonnixs 12 egg and last hatch I had close to 42 eggs shipped from mainland and had only 13 hatch. This time I have 9 legbar (Creme and Opal) and only one looks viable. And 15 isbar and man those eggs are hardy shippers as 14 are growing!! But I too get super invested lol I sadly had one full term chick pass and I cried all day

Hugs! I'm sorry that happened. It's always sad but it does get a little easier as you continue hatching chicks and realize it's a fact of hatching. Remember, most hens walk away from their nest with unhatched chicks as well. It's always exciting when you have a 100% hatch but it's also not super common, especially with shipped eggs. Late quitters are of course always the hardest. I wish you the best of luck with this hatch!
