One has PIPPED!/HATCHED!!! Update...

It has a lil white spot on the back of its head, does that mean anything to you on gender? It sure is a strong lil thing, none of the others have even started pipping and I dont hear any others peepin yet either, this one is kinda lonely. lol
 
You really won't be able to tell about the spot for real till it's almost dry-believe me, it changes as it fluffs out. If the spot is small, that indicates a pullet. If it's large and splotchy and down the back of it's head, usually that's a boy. However, Lexie herself, rulebreaker that she is, had a huge headspot and rooster coloring, so dont count anything as a rooster too soon that comes from that little lady! This is a picture of one of Lexie's sons-note that splotchy headspot

This is one of Lexie's daughters-see the tiny headspot? My Buff Orp Sunny hatched a boy and a girl from Lex's eggs.

I did go to sleep. lol Nope, nothing has even pipped, and the lil one isnt dry yet, so leavin it in there, I think thats the right thing to do, right? I would hate to take him out by himself, I THINK I mite have another egg chirping/peeping but totally sure.
They can stay in incubator for 24 to 36 hours, right?
He still is not real steady on his feet, and was sleeping until I woke him.
