The one that was zipping hatched! It is yellow with block/brown chipmunk stripes and is SUPER fluffy! one that pipped died for unknown reasons. When I opened it up its inner membrane was jelly like. I have another pip though that is getting ready to make progress!

Hi Everyone!

Update on my non EHAL hatch. 20 went into lockdown and 11 hatched successfully. 1 externally pipped but I think suffocated because it got rolled onto the pip. I'm happy overall although bummed about the one I lost. The other 9 did not pip and I left them for an extra 24 hours.

Here are the breeds I got and my guesses at genders:
4 Jubilee Orpingtons (2 pullets / 2 roos)
1 Chocolate Cuckoo Orp (pullet)
1 Chocolate Orp (pullet)
1 Splash Maran (pullet)
2 Legbars (1 roo / 1 pullet)
2 Olive Eggers (1 roo / 1 pullet)

Update for EHAL - my hen is still sitting on 9 eggs on day 20. She's pretty guarded and I didn't get the final candling in but there were a couple of suspected clears. I'm watching her really closely since she is an untested mama hen. My hopes are that she will do well and adopt the other babies too.



Good luck everyone. Sending happy hatching vibes.

Second baby is out for me! And she looks like a bantam Mottled Cochin x Easter-egger!! I didn't think that my Cochin boy managed to breed any of the EE girls!

I am sorry you lost one!

It goes like that sometimes and is frustrating when they get so close and do not make it
