Yippee!
4 of the 8 eggs in our Incy have pipped this morning!
This is our third (and possibly final) batch of incubated eggs this year, and all 8 eggs were fertile when candled. I'm very excited, I can't wait to see what these little lovelies turn out like. Their Mum is either Rose or Rooby, our beautiful "Welsh Black" ladies (an Indian Game X Australorp), and their Dad is Roo, a Sasso (so himself a hybrid).
We already know what Roo x Mrs Roo looks like (we have 5 of them ,from our last hatch, in the garden at the moment), and we know what a Welsh Black x Welsh Black looks like (because one of the new ladies laid a fertile egg on her way home, and the chick is in our garden with the Sassos)
I'm just disinfecting the lunar module brooder now so I can put it on to dry out and warm up ready.
I can't wait to meet them!
EDITED: 6pm 6 out of 8 now pipped!
