Hatched!

The chicks have hatched! Half of them decided to hatch on day 20 and half on day 21. All 6 of the eggs that were developing hatched. Though... I opened the incubator more than I should have.. like five or six times. I kept panicking thinking they were stuck or that I had to take the egg shells out that they were tripping over. I guess that's normal for a first time hatcher like myself, lol. Though NEXT TIME I will sit on my hands and not open the lid!!


Three had hatched at this point.
I'm waiting until tonight to put them in the brooder so they'll be nice and fluffed out since I don't have a lamp, just a Brinsea Ecoglow which they huddle under to stay warm.

Also, my Ameraucana eggs arrived today! Going to let them sit a day while I clean up the incubator and start all over again, lol!
