Got back from the store and one of my 4 eggs is piping.

Hope the next three continue

Here they are, semi-fluffy, but still cute as little buttons. The one in front looks black, next is a blue, then a porcelain and my little white is all the way in the back blending in quite well with the towel they're snuggling on

It looks like my final count is going to be 6, which tickles me pink considering I didn't think any of these eggs were going to hatch. I just had another blue or black literally explode from its egg. It came out so fast it ripped its umbilical cord off, which caused it to bleed a bit. I pulled it out of the bator real quick and put some flour on its rear end (I hope that was the right thing to do), then I popped it back in to dry out. I have 1 more white egg working on coming out, my other white ended up being a late term quitter so I pitched it. I'll be glad when they're finished hatching, I'm ready to pack up my bator and be done with hatching for the year. Congrats to everyone who's got fluffies already, sorry to those who had problems and good luck to everyone still waiting!

Oh my gooooodnesssss...... One of the Lemon Cuckoo Orps from an egg with the horseshoe shaped aircell just hatched a day early! He is so tiny but looks great except for his yolk is still attached. Will keep a close eye on him, but if that one can hatch I hopefully will have a couple more!

Eggs that were placed yesterday have much better looking aircells. Only 2 that look really nice. Fingers crossed.

We all need to post new pics! I will post some more by tomorrow afternoon.

I guess I also need to go join another hatching thread, but I like you peeps and don't want to leave. How can we keep this going. Maybe we need to start a cool people that incubated in July thread in off topic forums so we can keep hanging out......

45 Made it to lockdown. Had a total of 68 eggs. 10 still cooking.

Yes she is selling some infertile eggs. Private breeder in Hughesville MD. This is the worse time of year for fertilazation. But still did not expect 90 percent to be infertile even in july.

No, I would think she needs to work on her rooster to hen ratio or something...
