6 of 11 so far!

That little black runner has stolen my cold dark heart!!
Two pipping now, both on the pointy end
Thread scouring on here has me thinking this isnt all too uncommon and we've got a chance?

Going out to the chicken coop so I can leave the eggs ALONE. But it's not easy.

Hatchday was yesterday (Tuesday ) I have two backwards pippers, two rock n rollers without a crack and one silent and still.
Should I wait another day before interfering?

Actually have to work a full day tomorrow, so I wont be home until 20 hours from now. Will definitely check all night and in the morning before leaving though!!

RIP my Sonic the Hedgehog hat...

That’s adorable. The 2 pipping the pointy end will probably need help at some point. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/pictures-of-assisting-a-duckling-to-hatch.1326242/

Here are the little quackers! Sooo cute. I dont know how people get such good pictures of them. I dont have the patience and I'd much rather snuggle lol the teeny one in the bottom middle pic up top was number 9. Last to hatch took it 4 days and an assist and it's still sooo tiny.

Top right pic of this College, little duckie on the left I swear was a chicken egg and was rocking a week before anyone else. I didnt want to disrupt the ducks so I left it alone and behold! Not a chick! Its only slightly bigger than 9 and looks a little different than the rest.
Pekin, crested pekin, runners, probably mostly crosses. Either way purely adorable!!
