No, just shell breaking which is good, but I wish they would hurry up a bit. The first one I have taken out as it was knocking all the eggs around. It has a dog friend in the brooder and is cheeping quietly, so it really needs another friend. Patience grasshopper it won't be long, I hope.

Chicky has hatched, hard to tell its colouring yet, very dark skin with what could be yellow feathers. I will update its colour when it dries out

You are doing really well again with your hatch rate, I think I am going to have to have you as a surrogate mum for my eggs too

lol, sounds good to me Judy. The little one that just hatched is looking silver as it dries out. Very interesting. I still have 8 pipping in the bator and two hatched. Looking like it is going to be a great hatch.

2 more have hatched, one dark and another looks like it might be silver again. That is a total of 5 hatched and several more pipping still.

Another dark one, so that is three of each All the others are either pipping or still to break through the membrane, but working at it.
