THIRTY SEVEN out of 40!!!!!! There were three stuck in their shells. One may have been totally fine and just the last to hatch, but one was certainly stuck had zipped mostly and had dry feathers poking out of the shell. Here he is!

then this baby may have been fine without my help. Partially zipped but no activity didn’t notice anything out of ordinary when I opened him up.

this one had membrane really dry around the pip. My little helper got to HOLD IT WHILE IT HATCHED. Eeeeeee. He won’t ever forget it

EEEEEEEE! What an exciting morning!!!

monitoring all in the brooder and photos of ALL the colors soon!!!!

This is my very favorite part of a scheduled hatch-a-long! The thread is going to be swimming with peep pictures for the next few days!

Great job helping the stuck babies and what an incredible experience for your mini!! When you say, "last to hatch" does that mean all of them hatched?!?!

Three never internally pipped

I can’t believe I had 37 hatch! That’s a 75% hatch rate, including counting infertile clears!!
