Had another hatch while I was out shopping at Kohl's. This one looks more black in color than the first.
We are waiting on egg #3 which was chirping earlier and now seems to have a pip started.

I definitely want to try raising quail for meat... are the manchurians large enough for that Ace-King-Brahma?

My first-ever Red Bourbon turkey chicks have hatched today! I sure heard their little peeps while I was feeding today, and sure enough 3 of them were there with momma(s). I have 2 turkeys sitting side by side. However they chose an awful spot in the side of our old corn crib, and 3 of the chicks had fallen into a little box. I got them out and put them back with momma(s) who seems a little bewildered. I gave her food and water and she's keeping them warm now. I heard one more peeping under the other hen. I love my hens for being so gentle -- they let me get right in there without even pecking me.

Same size as pharaoh as far as length and height. Weight I'm am not sure. This is my first batch of them I am attempting to raise. I bought the eggs off ebay but this is the little info I could find on them:

The egg was pipped when I arrived at school at 6 in the morning. But its nearly 3 in all I have is the original crack. I've heard no peeping. Im worried.

Should I be?

As much as you want, leave it be. How is the humidity in the incubator? Mine is running 78% and temp is 99.

I have the one hatched yesterday, one hatched sometime around 1pm and now I have another pip and the #3 egg has an 'outward dent' and chirping but nothing more.

Its hard to wait!

good luck!

I have the outward dent. But its been about the same for 9 hours now.
No chirping.

We were so excited...now we don't know what to think.

those are the sweetest little things I have ever seen, did you hear me go..............ooooh?

Third egg hatched.... it was very cool to actually see and watch. Perfect timing on part of one of my students. She got to watch the whole thing! She was very happy

So...now we have
Noisey Nora
Britt (after daughter's best friend...go figure)
and
Duck

Egg #3 still nothing...outward pip but that is all.

Grillmaster anything happening yet?
