Well, last night at 2am, we got our one little solo dude. He's got a powerful set of lungs, and simply won't stand to be too far away from one of us (hence the hands in the pics).

Have you ever had an unhatched egg get completely covered top and bottom with a hatched egg? Just did... went to fix between zips to find the interior egg had zipped halfway around. Quickly threw it back in with the warm rag I had handy but am now wishing I would have checked for life. I had marked bad ac on egg. It had like a sloshy/watery substance in the air cell

Before I left for this full day, I had three production reds and two black sex-links (pullets!) hatched and nearly every other egg is externally pipped! Now, to go suffer through a scheduled-a-day-early-because-eggs-are-due-Sunday Easter dinner. Lol
