Holy cow! You already have a 50% hatch rate on shipped eggs. I'm over the moon that you will be raising so many of Gunnar's babies!

I had another hatch last night. I stuck the little one under broody momma this morning with the other 4. The 1 that momma hatched out herself is one of my few full SFH. I have lots more in the bator. This staggered hatch thing is stressful! I believe the next hatch I do I will have another bator to use as a hatcher. I think that would help a LOT!!!

I have some hatching tho, that's always a good thing.

Here are the first two SFH chicks (Gunnar babies) at 15 hrs old...

And another... These are the first three, the remaining three are still in the bator... not as energetic, so I'm leaving them in a full 24 hrs.
7th is a slow hatch... not sure at what point I should help... I normally try to avoid doing that.
