Ok you guys. The external pip on day 19 from last night just hatched. And the internal on day 19 from last night just made an external pip! No word yet from the remaining 4 eggs. Today is day 20.

Great! Congratulations.

Thanks everyone! I was so nervous that nine would hatch!
These eggs came shipped from a pen containing sizzles, silkies and showgirls. So I actually have no idea what this chick is it even how old it has to be before I can tell. Does anyone have any tips on this topic?

Maybe the others forgot to syncronize their watches? Oh, wait... they don't wear watches.

Hoping the last 2 will come along before too much longer!

Sounds like a plan to me. And it doesn't sound like your excitement has diminished any either!

I am still super excited!

Oh, I also got a look at your posted coop. It is amazing! I love the hoop idea and the lattice fence panels!

Second chick has hatched. It looks like no neck feathers or back of the head feathers. So I guess that makes it a showgirl?
Still nothing from the other four but today is only day 20 so I shouldn't worry right?
It's so hard not to scoop them up now they are hatched. How long til I can get one out!?
