No problem! This has been worth it to get such good hatch rates. This has been the first time I've purposely hatched purebred chicks from my own eggs. I'm loving it.

Steffpeck- You'll be happy to know that both blues are pipped now!

That just leaves two more eggs that haven't pipped yet.

 

[steffpeck]

WOOHOO!!!

 

[Buster]

15 chicks out now- One Blue is zipping and one is pipped.

 

[steffpeck]

Oh, I am so excited!!! Thanks for the pictures!!

 

[Buster]

One blue is out!

 

[Buster]

Well, the other blue zipped and died.

Not sure why. The other two buffs didn't pip. I got the brooder set up and the new chicks will move in shortly.

Bummer. On the positive side, I have 15(?) fluffy buffs and 3 BLUES!!!! WOOHOO!!! Thank you so much!!

No problem! It's been fun to hatch all these out and see pure chicks running around. It's hard to count the buffs because they look like a sea of yellow fluff.
