One blue is hatched now! That's the first blue I've ever hatched from my own eggs!

One more blue is pipped and starting to zip and a buff is peeping.

There were only 5 eggs in this hatch so I'm hoping to wrap this up tomorrow.

The rest of the eggs for Steffpeck are on day 15.

I am so excited for the Buff's, but I am about ready to cry, I am so excited for the blues, I tried hatching dozens of BBS Orp eggs last year and didn't get one. I am going to have some blues!!!! WooHoo!!!!

Buster, are these just blues or are they BBS?

These should only be blues. They are out of a Splash rooster over a black hen.

I'm excited too!!!

UPDATE!!!

The other blue is zipping and the other 2 buffs are pipped! I know it's only 5 eggs, but this may end up being my very first 100% hatch!
