Thanksgiving Hatch- Anyone want to join in?

[NoseyChickens]

I have another one rocking, that's 3 now, but now the humidity dropped below 60! I am freaking out!!!!! Added water with a straw through one of the vent holes, so hopefully it will go back up here shortly. Still no movement in the other 5 eggs. I have 8 total in there and one I left in that I was not all that sure about. Should I be worried that the others arent moving?

I was afraid to post mine as this is my first hatch ever, and with my own eggs! I'm giddy that the first one is out!

Is the yolk it's dragging OK? Do I need to get him out of there before he/she tears it? He/she is literally all over the place!

Mojo Chick'n - Your 3 little chickies that made it are so cute!

Leave him in there-I don't see any yolk, it looks like the umbilicus. It is normal and will soon dry up and should fall off. Congratulations! It NEVER gets any less exciting!

Thank you! I can't believe how excited I am over this!

There is definitely a little yolk, but I'll leave it alone. I'll see if I can get a better pic with the yolk and start another thread so it doesn't consume the thread.

Update - You were right! it was the shell I was seeing! Duh!

Congratulations! I can't wait to see a pic! Once again, you've hatched one of my breeds before I have. Do you know whose egg it is, so I can go out and give the hen a kiss?

I've read that some people band-aid it up so that it doesn't tear. Do a search and see what you can find. Good luck!

Well, my Loko is still sitting on the eggs.

I was thinking if they haven't hatched by the end of the weekend, I should give up.
What do you all think? I put 5 eggs under her on Nov 3rd, and somehow an extra egg showed up 2 days later.

Congrats to all who have the cutest little hatchlings!

They are all adorable.

This was my 5 am wake up call:

There are 7 in that shot! I got up to add the little black chick on the bottom left...


And just before Thanksgiving dinner:

10 there... the last little one didn't make it out of his shell

But I'm happy with the one I have. The silkie babies though...... they have already stolen hubby's soul
