Hey, what happened to hlf? Did you get a good hatch? Last I ready you were going into lock down? Hope you see this and let us know! With good results.

Delilah...this is fun for sure. Will you have your own eggs to hatch, or will you have them shipped? If you get from e-bay, remember to look at the persons feed back. Really helps to see a lot of good comments, especially with the follow ups and you see that eggs are viable.
You can pretty much rely on good viable eggs from BYC. It's the shipping we have to worry about. Good luck with your new adventure after Christmas!

Last night we heard our first cheeping (yesterday was day 22). Woke up today (4 am) to hear very loud cheeping and the chick has pipped day 23! This just shows don't give up on your eggs too early!
Update: It is 5:00 and the egg is zipping.

The egg has been like this for about five hours. The chick is still peeping.

Oh My Goodness! You guys have me so excited with all of your pix and stories! My very first hatch of my very first chickens (Silkies) goes into lockdown today!!!! Seeing all these pictures of these gorgeous babies is awesome...and the information that everyone shares is so helpful to me being a total newbie (I'm another quiet researcher...although, not so quiet since I have to share everything I learn with my BFF

)

Silly question...I have an LG 'bator with no fan/forced air and I was wondering if I leave the "air holes" with plugs in or out for lockdown?

God bless you guys and keep those baby pix coming!

So far we have 14 itty bitties that have hatched.

We have mostly Silkies with a few Black Copper Marans.
