The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[BaileyMChicks]

Thanks to everyone who answered my question. It reassured me a lot. I was really worried about it. I'm hoping it will hatch out fine.

BYC is a godsend for reassurance! I honestly don't think I could successfully raise my flock without the help from all of these awesome people!

Woke up this morning to my clock flashing!   What?  I knew the power was back on, because it was flashing, the wrong time, but flashing.  Hurried checked both bators for temp.   One was at 93, other at 95.  Not bad, but had to be off for a bit for them to get down that low.  I keep one at 97, it was the one at 93..the other at 99..it was at 95.  I'm not too worried.  I do have that one that pipped last night.  I wasn't hearing peeping last night, but am this morning.  Things still look good where the pip is.  Chirps a lot.  Hope it hatches on it's own..pipped at wrong end. 

Oh no

it hatches successfully with out help.

Think you will have no problems there I have had ice cold eggs hatch the same day so that low temp shouldn't be any problem

I have pictures now.





Sorry the pictures aren't the best.

looks good. We like to mark an x at the lowest point of the dip as a prediction of where the chick will pip. (Also we put that side up if laying them on their sides, so we can see the action as they hatch.

Oh my, so cute! How many does she have?

Cookie has 21 LF chicks. (At the time of the pic only 20 b/c one was inside the house with me.)

Wow! I didn't know they could take care of that many at once.

I have a couple of eggs pipping already and I hear cheeping! Not due to hatch until Thursday really. Exciting times

I'm going to be gone all weekend, so I'm kind of hoping one or two will hatch tomorrow.
