Good morning & happy Thursday! We have three babies out, a hand full that are pipped and one zipping!
Pipping is when they use the egg tooth to crack through the membrane and egg shell to start the hatch process. Zipping is when they begin to crack the egg shell in (typically) a linear pattern around the egg to lead to hatching within a short period of time!
So far we have hatched: Amerucana, Speckled Olive Egger, and Buff/Lavender Orpington from Otis my Golden Cuckoo Maran rooster.
