three whole days early! I helped one this morning who had pipped at the wrong end yesterday morning, just peeled the shell and left the membrane intact. Yesterday I counted 17 pips!!

Last night I decided to lockdown my turkey eggs. While I was candling and swithing to the hatcher I saw a crack on the side of one and thought 'well that is sad, how did that happen? It is moving, I wonder if it will still hatch...' then I realizes

that is a PIP!!!! So I have 7 wiggling turkey eggs in the brinsea, one with a pip already!

None of these eggs were due to hatch till Wednesday. Now I'll be scrambling around trying to set up brooders!

WOOHOO! 8 ducklings have hatchedout of 12 eggs set. 1 failed to pip & 3 were clears. 4 had hatched out Saturday morning and their siblings joined them on Sunday. So now I have 8 happy little heads peeping out of the brooder. I won't be able to keep them all but I'll have to make sure they go to homes where eggs are more important than meat!
