Two out of four have started rocking around this evening! Shining my light in, I can see movement against the air cell, so lockdown is officially begun!

Well so far 12 out of the 14 duck eggs set have hatched 2 left in hatcher that have pipped just waiting for them to zip out. Really hoping they do hatch it would be 100% fertility/hatch rate that would be my first 100% fertility and hatch rate at same time, have had a few close calls but always seems to be one or two that aren't fertile or early quitter or just don't hatch. A few pics of the 12 that have hatched so far, hoping I haven't jinxed them from hatching by counting my ducks before they are all hatched

Set 22 barnyard mix chicken eggs on March 18th. They are primarily Australorp/Easter Egger and Crested Cream Legbar. Candled again yesterday and only had to pull one. Also set 22 Welsh Harlequin duck eggs on the same day, but they will take another week.

Still have to get the brooder ready to go and get some starter feed! Yipes!

Make sure to send me a conversation with the numbers for any Hatching before 4/16 and then follow up with number hatched when complete. I don't have my iPad tonight so I can't see if you're on the spreadsheet yet

I have a couple external pips this evening and the rest are internally pipped but Momma has managed to add like 7 more eggs in various stages of development that I will have to get into an incubator before the end of hatch
