congrats on all new hatches. I had two out of three Black Jersey Giant/ Ameraucana's hatch yesterday and the third one is on its way out now.
Those are the last three from my staggered hatch. I am already getting bummed out.........lol. I think I am really a hatch-o-holic.

My eggs under Little Sister the Silkie are pipped and cheeping!

I moved her to a coop by herself because one of my EE hens was trying to get in her box to lay. She got off the nest, but after a few tense moments, she heard a chick cheep and went to settle down on the eggs. We had six eggs, one was a rotter, so now we have 5 chicks hatching. My boys will be so excited when I pick them up from school. Pray that they hatch. We had a major disappointment last time we tried to set eggs. I really think all is well this time, though.

Oh, the chicks are Banty Cochins!

2 blue babies out, all the other eggs are pipped except for one that I cant see very well. Amazing how much better a hatch rate that one can get from home grown eggs than shipped eggs. Which just makes it even more amazing that shipped eggs hatch at all.
 
OK... how frustrating is this?!? I am wrapping eggs in my "office" aka incubator room, aka the hottub room, minding my own business, and I hear cheeping coming from the hatcher. I rush over... I DON'T SEE ANYTHING!!! Nothing!! No pips... nothing... where the (&$(@$^ is the cheeping coming from?!?
 
I'm that much closer to a true Crazy Chicken Lady status...

I finally see a couple of pips in a couple of eggs, but they're in cartons so there's no rocking. But very definite peeping.

I just put 6 millies and 4 LBs in the hatcher, and my EEs are due late next week...

Well, we're now at 16! with three more at various stages of zipping out, and 4 more not pipped yet. Had a cracked egg explode in my hands this afternoon.... Yuck!

Had to move these guys and gals out of the 'bator because they were trampling the new hatches, and had begun to peck one that's "got issues" (it's still in the bator)

I've got a couple that have seperated themselves from the rest, but I'm watching them closely.

All of them have had their drink, but only a couple have used the feeder or bowl yet. more should be ready to eat tomorrow.

All of these are out of Chester our EE disguised as a NHR roo, and 3 brown leghorns, 1 barred rock, 2 NHR/production red hens..... I'll be keeping a couple of the black sex links, and any that don't have the EE legs.....the rest are for a neighbor.

Anyhow... met the crowd:
