Setting eggs Memorial Day Weekend! :) They're hatching!!!

Today is Day #21. We woke up to 2 eggs chirping to each other and they both pipped while we were eating breakfast.

We have been watching intently but it's a little like watching a Bass fishing tournament . . . not a lot of action!
 
This is getting exciting. Some of you guys are starting to hatch. Mine are going into lockdown today and then it is just a few more days. Come on little guys....

Just put 14 orps and 1 pekin egg in the hatcher. Next week I have another 20 or so orps due to hatch and 6 polish/opr crosses
 
I came for lunch this noon and the Hatcher was pipping and popping !

Out of 14 Blue Marans...

OMG. I got a dozen that have pipped and they are not due to come out till the 19th! I had to go into an early lock down. lol.
 
Congrats JD! I have to admit that I spent 15 minutes last night listening for chirping eggs. None yet

But seeing the rocking egg on Tuesday has given me hope that I'm not too far away!!!!
