Waiting patiently

Day 21 is almost over and 1 egg of ten was fertile but these were my first eggs from my mottled cochins that I've set so far. The egg is moving around wobbling all around so I know it is still alive!! I haven't noticed a pip yet but hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a new baby mottled Cochin bantam. Other eggs from these birds have so far been fertile 100% but still have 6 more days on those then another 7 for the rest. Also got about 60 eggs going in the sportsman tomorrow from different breeds from old english and mottled cochins to Ameraucanas and my blue laced red wyandottes. Come on spring I'm ready!!! I'll add a pic if it ever comes out to play!!

Well it finally pipped this morning and got a pic of it around 3.

Checked a few minutes ago and finally it popped out of the shell!! My first mottled cochin out of my babies!!!

Now for it to dry off before going to the brooder. I'll get another pic when it's all fluffy and dry.

Thanks those are just 2 of the 3 boys the youngets being 9 months. They sure like being around the chickens and want to see the incubator everyday. They have a time in the yard come nice weather, I think they could chase chickens all day!
