After a disasterous day yesterday of trying to do the right thing and help my hen hatch her eggs only to have one die, and I checked on her last night I could hear the chicks peeping. This AM when I went out there was a little peep nestled by his/her mama, the little chick blended in and I checked the other egg under her, and it was 3/4 hatched. Believe you me I will leave it be. I will try to get pictures and send them along. I want to thank all of you for your great responses to posts. It is very very helpful to first time hatchers even to us who do it the old fashion way. Patience is not one of my virtues, but after yesterday, I will really work on it. The First chick is "Fire Cracker" because it was hatched yesterday, and the second one will be "Doodle Bug".
