View attachment 1945917 Good morning all. Woke up to 6 chicks this morning. Not a great pic, they all keep running around following the light. I think I'm going to call this group the Carol Ann's.

Did you happen to keep track of what the code written on the egg's that those chick's hatched from? Were they the MNN, the FNN, or the NN?

No other than the one chick with a naked neck that I know came from an NN egg I have no idea. Ken tore his tendon in his ankle and I was too busy to finish any options to keep them separate.

Sorry that happened to Ken. I will keep mine separate and band the leg's according to what hatched from what when it's time for mine to hatch. I have the band's here already in enough different colors.

@igorsMistress Nice. It look's like that darker reddish one back by the NN chick is looking for a toe snack.

... Baby chicken...???

my app says today they pip into the air sac... Then it says tomorrow they start pipping externally. Is that true?

Here's what I'm looking at on the app.

I'm completely nervous about these chicks hatching. It's my first time and i just want everything to go smoothly.
