I have pippage!
8 remaining eggs from 17 set, the 9 discards were clear (I knew some would be infertile so they probably were.) now 2 are pipping and I had forgotten how exciting this part of the process could be!
I've lost two of my rescued hens in the past week so really needed something to cheer me up - I just hope they all make it out ok. I've had to put them on paper towels in the incy and I just hope that won't make it too dry, the air humidity is still over 70 so I hope I'm worrying about nothing.
I can't wait to see them - whenever I've crossed with black silkies before the chicks have all been black, but that was with a black silkie hen, this is with a roo so I'm wondering if all these will be black too...
I want to know!!
patience.. must have patience!
