IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! The middle egg is wiggling around like a...a... I don't exactly know. The best analogy I have is actually a pokemon egg about to hatch. Go figure....

Still. IT's happening!!!

WE HAVE PIPS!!!! Pips from all three!!!! AHHHH!!!

Someone decided to kick a piece of eggshell off. Lol, they're still going at it. I'll let everyone know when the first one is out.

Just a reminder, it can take up to 24 hours after the first pip, to the zip. Don't get nervous, just try to keep busy!

About a half hour earlier I searched the yard because I thought it odd that the army green eggs had slacked off So I hear the egg song and after a while I go out to get the egg. No egg and no hens in the box. I think it’s odd because I know she was laying. Well I looked under the coop and found her sitting on this stash!

Are they all good to eat? She has definitely not been sitting on them at night because I’ve been checking to see if she’s in there at night. I clipped her wing the other day because she has been escaping.

Yes. They are safe. If you think they are old, do a float test.

Ugh I know. Susan's been reassuring me the entire time. I've got the heat lamp on to help dry out the brooder since I had to wash it a little bit. Don't have any pine shavings so I'll be using shredded paper till I can go and get some. The adult chickens weren't too happy when I stole one of their heat lamps.

Paper towels are great for the firs few days. That's what I used. Only put down shavings this morning.
