We are having a late spring snow storm, and when I got up at 4:30 this morning my power was off. I wrapped the bator in towels and covered with a blanket. I had to go to work. Power came back on about 10:00 so I had my Mom uncover the bator, nothing going on. I had her check again about 2:00, 1 chick, Yea! Then when I got home at 6:00 I checked, 1 more zipping, had to go out and feed animals and by the time I got back in that one as out also. I can't see any more pips yet, but keeping my fingers crossed, I have 2 more of my mixed eggs and 15 EEs still in there. The dark one is from my mixed flock. The yellow one is a shipped EE.

One more EE out, and another piped. I'll update photos later.
 
6 hatched now, one more pip. I hope I wake up in the morning to several more. One was having some problems staying upright, it would flip over on its back and couldn't get up, so I left it in the bator in an egg carton all day, and its much better now.
