that must be exciting! congrat's to everyone's peeps and pip's. As of now, mid way through day 21, 9 of 15 are out with no further pip's. I have 3 sussex left and 3 millies. I will let them go through day 22...if there are no pip's by then...i may entertain the thought of me going in after them to see if i could at least save one.

Due tomorrow and I got nothing so far. I'm in there checking every five minutes.

I guess it's like a watched pot... a watched egg never hatches. I did however get my silkie eggs today! I got 4 cuckoo. 3 white, 1 buff, 2 black, blue, and black splash. I'm super excited about the cuckoos she has really nicely barred birds

and we have a little over two dozen of our own eggs to go in after these hatch/don't hatch. I'd like to get them in the bator by Monday at the latest. C'mon little eggs c'mon

Got one pip in a maran egg. It could be pure wheaton, black copper, or a mix of the two.

Two of my Serama have hatched, one has pipped, one nothing.

Nothing for my Dutch, yet!

My Dutch are pipping, my Dutch are pipping!

strangely i've had an egg pipping and zipping every day under my broodies! i had 2 pop yesterday, 1 today, and she still has 3 more that i originally put under her from my own flock! then i moved some of the eggs a few days ago from the bator to put under her to finish out their last days so i wouldn't get them mixed up with the eggs from another breeder's that i left in the bator to hatch in there.

my hatch from last week went 5 days in a row where i had an egg pip, i had a total of 6 chicks but 2 were picked on by a couple of hens in the pen with moma and later died.

Ok, I admit, I assisted a bit the two that had zipped but couldn't get out because of the dry membrane sticking to them as a result of my lack of humidity monitoring. So, now I have 5 chicks from eggs I thought were 'questionable' and didn't sell! My husband asked me "Are you hatching more eggs AGAIN?!" I said yes, they weren't planned! I just stuck them in the incubator to see if they would hatch-nothing to lose- and THEY DID HATCH! 5 of 7 hatched! (1 nonfertile, 1 quitter) I'll post pics of my new little porcelain d'uccles as soon as they've dried off enough to put in the brooder bin! Good luck to all remaining hatchers!
