The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[myfivegirls]

Guess what! That little egg with the pip has now hatched! It's trying to stand up between another unhatched egg and the side of the container, but there's not much room! It would have more room if it went back to where the empty egg is.
I did end up putting the hydrometers back it, because the humidity was high enough, I could stand to let some out. Now that the chick's hatched - all three hydrometers agree (after calculating their % off) that's it's 75% humidity in there! There's no condensation on the window. Is it okay that it's so high?
I'll post the pics of the chick after I lock up the big girls and boys for the night.

I have a pip. LOL..it's one of the tiniest pips I've ever seen. I must have just caught it as it first pushed it out..just a tiny chip on the egg. It will probably be more of a normal looking one by the time I go back in later. It's in one of my OE's! I've been trying to get an OE forever..I want that Olive egg!

Very pretty! I have no clue! Can't wait to find out.

Ok, if you can't wait.

It's a Bantam Faverolle. Very sweet girl. Jumps up on my knee every time I kneel down. She is on my knee here.

She is so pretty!

I did try to see if Sparkle would accept it, but she didn't want it near her four chicks. Into the cage brooder it went.
