2 hatched so far - bunches more pipped. One looks to be a blue frizzled silkie, the other looks like a black silkie with white wing tips.

How cute! I'll bet your incubator is running like a popcorn machine this morning! I really cannot wait for my chicks to start hatching. Not much longer!

I have a bunch of the eggs with pips this morning (didn't sleep much last night LOL). One looks like it'll hatch in about an hour or so. Another one hatched last night that is a gorgeous silver color so it's either lavender or blue.

I had 13 hatch. 2 white naked necks, 1 white silkie, 1 partidge silkie, 1 lavender silkie, 1 blue silkie, 1 splash silkie, and 6 black silkies with white wing tips. They're adorable and all under the care of a broodie momma.

So so so cute! I have pips and peeps in my incubator! I can see at least 4 eggs that are pipped and I hear them peeping. Three of them are my LaVilkie eggs! :woohoo:

I have seven in my little Brinsea. They are all looking good. Hopefully I can get a big hatch going soon.
