They're hatching!!!

I have 3 chicks so far!!! There's 2 black ones and 1 yellow one. I have no idea about breeds because I bought a "barnyard mix" of eggs, LOL I'm so excited! Do I pull the vent plugs now?

Don't know about the plugs, but congrats on the babies!

Pull the plugs!!!!! You need to have ventilation in the incubator. That is as important as humidity. If you have eggs that have pipped you need to keep the humidity up, but you have to pull those vent plugs.

Thanks. I'm up to 6 with 4 more pipping! I think that's pretty good for a first timer

Congrats! You are doing very good! My first hatch i got nadda.

i guess we're hatch buddies. i have two guineas and a turkey out, day before actual hatch day. Fingers crossed that my other eggs will make it.

Please post pictures of your kids when you have a chance. Everyone loves pictures!
