Speckledhen Eggs ......Day 20....Update 2 pips!!

[lockedhearts]

I placed the eggs from Cyn in the hatcher Saturday night. I checked them several times yesterday. Looked this morning and one of the Barred Rocks is pipped!!!!!!
I am hoping for a few more by the time I get home!!!!

Yippee!!! My Glenda has several eggs hatched under her already. Cant see exactly how many, but I think 3. Day 20 here, too.

I think this one was marked "Bess" I know I had some marked "Becca" too.

I will try to keep up with the names of whose hatches so you know.

When I can, I always mark eggs with who laid them so I can see if one of the ladies starts having too many unfertilized or they just dont hatch well. Its how I found out that my Lt. Brahma's eggs, though fertilized, will never develop. Must be some genetic issue. She's perfectly healthy otherwise.

I just looked and another Barred Rock is pipped!!! Cmon babies!!!!

Their siblings are pipped here at my house, too. They need to get a move on here!

Come on chickies!!!!

I use pencil to mark them. And I know some of the girls' eggs without seeing them lay, like Lexie's. Some of them, I need to see who laid the egg-especially the newer layers.
