2 days early...(again)...and...we have our first pip!!!

A pip on even day 18 is not early, a pip is not a full hatch. (Most of the time chick sits in egg another day before it hatches.) Day 21 is just a day to expect when the egg may hatch. Depends on egg size, heat, and how developed the egg was before set, and what days were counted, I always get my days mixed up, even if I don't count the first day.
It is exciting to see a pip anytime though.

Below are my chicks that hatched, ten of the 13 that made it to lockdown.

The 2 above are still in incubator. the 8 below are in brooder.

No babies yet but I think I saw a pip or two. First time using this incubator, I can see very little of what's going on in there. Much prefer my clear top one.
