First chick out. Three more have pipped. Really didn't expect till tomorrow as temps seemed low.

Wonderful!

On day 20 and have 4 hatched out of 17 eggs. Hoping for some more!

no they are sweetgrass but mama is very minimum colored. Will color up more as they age. I wanted midgets white but when I'd go see parents were big. It said on a site I was on to watch out for large midgets so I didn't buy their eggs. Love the sweetgrass their colors are so pretty

HOW PRETTY!!!!!!!

ME TOOOOOOO that kind is pretty, what was the other color we discussed?

Looks like Im having a great hatch in my dry hatcher. Ive added no water the entire time but its so humid here the windows have condensation. Ive removed 7 chicks so far, and the windows are so fogged I cant see but I hear a lot of thumping around and cheeping in there
The attic incubator though is not doing well at all. Only 2 hatched, not many pips in there. The temp has fluctuated throughout, humidity is at 55% because I had to add water, and then when tbe whole family was out today a window was compromised & the temp was down to 87. Lesson learned: dont use this incubator again! Fill the lucky dry hatcher and thats it!
