Well we had 4 days to go but.......

one decided he was ready to come out early last night. Sue and I were planning on removing the egg turner tonight but that got pushed up to this morning when I looked into the incubator and was going to add water and saw that an egg was broke open....the little guy was just laying there sleeping.

1 hatched and 23 eggs to go......

8 that will be moved to the Coop this weekend, which I will take photos of those and post up. They're growing like a weed and out growing their container in the house so they definitely need to be moved into the new Coop Saturday.

Congrats! Don't you just love it when they surprise you by hatching early?

(Lol, I don't

)

Keep us updated on how the rest hatch.

This morning the count is 8 hatched and two more are trying to get out of their shells.

9 Keets so far.....two more look like they're on their way. 15 eggs left and at least three of them are extremely small eggs so I'm not sure they will produce a keet. I didn't candle the eggs so I'm not sure if some are not fertile...going to just wait until 10 days go by and then candle any remaining before tossing them.

Wow! That is awesome

I hope they keep on hatching!

OK, here's a couple of bad photos....had the red heat lamp on while I attempted to take the photos this morning at 4:20 am.

No new hatchlings since yesterday...total of 10 right now, plus our other older Keets for a total of 18 G's.

Will be putting the finishing touches on the inside of the coop tonight and Saturday, then move the older Keets out to the coop. Hopefully by Saturday night I'll have 8 less in my office/computer room.
