Two have pipped!

[AKsmama]

Just got home from a zoo field trip with my kindergartener's class to find two of the blue/green eggs under my broody have pipped! I can hear them peeping!! *runs around frantically, waving arms and screaming* Now I am a nervous mama, especially with severe storms coming tonight! I just want to sit out there and watch them

It's going to be a loooong night.

Thanks! And make that 3 peeping pips, I just investigated a little more closely. Some of those little chirps are loud!

Congrats! Very exciting! I hope you don't get a bad storm......Here in OH, we've been having storms too. So far today, there's been very strong winds....The debris, dust and things in the air......

I know I've said it a lot lately. Get an inverter from Walmart. A 400W is $19, they plug into the cigarette lighter of your car and can run your incubator in case of power outage, as well as a light or two. Very easy to use.

Congratulations on your pips!! I am expecting mine in about 5 days.

To the OP: I believe the icon your looking for is this

Four have pipped now, one enough that we can see its beak and little chipmunk stripes!

Yes, smokeykk, that's the one!

Shadowgrass, no inverter needed for this hatch- it's under a broody! But yes, we do have an inverter if we ever decide to incubate. Which I am sure will happen at some point, doesn't everyone?

Awww! I'd be excited too! Hope you share pics! What breed are they?

 

[AKsmama]

I will share pics for sure! The two that have hatched are chipmunk-striped, and I have four very active EE roos (and one very much less active Lakenvelder roo), so more than likely they are EE mutts. The one is an EE for sure b/c s/he came out of a blue egg, the other came out of a brown, so it could be an EE/Black Star cross. Just barnyard mixes!

Barnyard mixes are adorable though!
