This must be HATCH DAY because I have some hatching too! UPDATED PICS

[johnnam]

I go in and check on them every fifteen minutes, its driving me crazy. I am so scared that they are going to die.



jackiedon.. You seem to always have something hatching! How fun is that. I wanted to start a second batch so it wouldn't be so long in between, but after reading some of the posts I have decided to wait. Mine are supposed to silver crested polish, they looked beautiful in the pictures. I asked the seller before I bought them if they made good pets and he said they did, but now after reading what people are writing about them I am a little scared.

First one hatched about 5 minutes ago! Black with white markings; maybe a cuckoo? I'll be able to tell better once it dries out. The others are about where they were before.

congrats! good luck with the rest!

A second one hatched about an hour ago; same colors as the first, but more white. Maybe these are going to be splash instead of cuckoo colors? Not that it matters; they are just too cute.

Well, off to bed- I'll post an update first thing in the morning. Goodnight everyone!

Get up, get up! What 'cha got this morning?

LOL- I have another one hatched and another one pipping, so I have a total of three out of the shell and one still working on it.

I can't tell if the other eggs are still rocking or not because of the chicks tromping around in the incubator, but tonight is the start of day 21, so I am hopeful I will still get a few more... I had a total of 18 eggs, 15 were viable at day 14, so I was hoping that around half of those would hatch... not a real good hatch rate if they quit now!

Go chickies go!
Thanks for the update!

UPDATE- 3 more hatched out today, for a total of 6 chicks hatched. There are 9 more eggs in the incubator, but I can't tell if they're doing anything because the windows are so fogged up and the chicks that hatched are playing roller derby with them. Tonight is the start of day 21.

I think I will take the chicks out tonight and check on the status of the other eggs, just to be sure no one's stuck and needs help.

I'll post pics of the 6 I have tomorrow when they're all dried off and cute!
