Setting eggs today!! Newbie!

So exciting! I have 5 in the incubator due to hatch this weekend, but I am not very hopeful that anything will hatch bc of the power outage we had @ day 4. HOWEVER, our 2 silkies are sharing duty sitting on a surrogate egg that is definitely developing and should hatch in about 9 days. It's very cute - they are actually sitting in the egg box together.

Nothing yet.

Discovered a 2 degree difference between the top and the bottom of the 'bator... turned it up a bit but they may be a little late.

Brooder box ready... just in case.

I'm up to 5 babies. One left who has decided to take his sweet time, lol.
Glad to hear we got some pips for some people, keep updating! Crossing my fingers for some babies for everyone!

I woke up to these 2 cuties- my first hatched babies!

And I have a total of 5 pips, crossing my fingers for a few more as these were shipped eggs!

Aww so cute

Glad to see some babies coming!!! My hatch is all done, 6 out of 6, she did a good job as usual. Here is a pic, please excuse Al, the mama, she is possibly the ugliest chicken in the world, but she is also the best broody and mother so she earns her keep
