. Good luck to all hatching!!
 
Early day 18 here and have 2 external pips and a 3rd internal pip! I might be a day off though, so may actually be early day 19. either way it's exciting! It's like a never ending hatch here lol just had 2 silkies hatch out yesterday.
 
One more week for 4 Seramas eggs and 3 Silkie eggs still in the running and 1 egg from my frizzle hen! I have 4 more of Frizzles in at day 7 and have 4 more to put in... hopefully a few will hatch this time... last time they all quit. I am secretly thinking I want a few more Silkies before Winter... she has lavender and show girls!!!

Nobody knows...lol As long as I can hatch a couple girls on the legbars, then I'm done hatching till my wyandottes start laying. Will keep in touch. Good luck hatching!
 
We have a third external pip! It seems like once one piped they start like popcorn! hahah and its only day 18! Maybe i'll have some babies tomorrow :) Now to sit on my hands with my face glued to the face waiting for them to zip1

I hope the RIR do well! I won't tell about the legbars, they lay the pretty blue eggs right?

I think I will see if I get a few Silkies this hatch and wait to get more... we'll see. I probably have enough chickens right now!

As far as I know, someone is collecting duck eggs for me though... a dozen Anconas for $8!!! I just couldn't pass that up!
 
I was about to go to bed, checked on eggs. and had one that was almost completely zipped! 10 minutes later we have a white leghon/speckled sussex chick!!

Last two hatches have been bantam silkies, almost forgot how big standard chicks are

Here are the two Silkies I hatched out yesterday, now that the splash is dried :)

And don't worry, thats just washable marker on the chicks..marked on white silkie before I realized what other was so I could tell them apart..well it rubbed onto the splash as well. ha!













And here is our leghorn mix that just hatched. Today is only day 18!
