We woke up to the pipped egg zipping out and she's (dd's hoping it's a pullet) out!
The other five eggs do not have pips yet, but we put them in on Sat. evening 3 weeks ago, so we have time yet for others to follow! We have to leave in just a little bit for most of the day... so hard to go when things might be happening!
We are having a phenomenal hatch! The little guy above hatched about 30 minutes after we woke up this morning. Then we came home from DD's Rabbit Judging Meet to find TWO MORE chicks had hatched! One, EightBall, is very black like the little guy, Salem, above. The other one, Domino, has a lot of yellow, mostly yellow legs and a red comb. Definitely not to standards but dd thinks he/she is adorable nonetheless. AND it looks like one more is pipping (very hard to tell initially in our incubator as the walls are not real clear). So that's 3 chicks, and a possible 4th pipping out of just 6 shipped eggs! AND we're at high altitude which makes it all the more amazing to us! And we're still on Day 21 so there's time for the others to still do something, too! DD was hoping beyond hope at least one would hatch so three out of six so far has her over the moon! THANK YOU, CANDACE!!!

I wanted to add that this only our 2nd attempt at hatching and we have a not very expensive incubator from Amazon (the magicfly one, but it is labeled Janoel 12). We are so very happy with the results.
