All 20 of mine made it to lockdown, 8 have hatched so far, 5 pips and waiting on 7 others. Had trouble keeping my temps up for some reason so I expect a late hatch. I also set them in the evening on set day. So far have 4 BCM and 6 buff orps that I set mistakenly for my barred rocks, but heck...
Checked my incubator, eggs on day 20 and I have 2 pips whoohoo. Went to the coop tp put the girls to bed and hear chirping. Took a look under my broody and she hatched 1 and has several pips and zips happening!!! Going to be a darn good night!!!

I have Bob's twin Larry, but Bob is the boss. Great with the ladies, finds them food, protects them very well. Even attacked my Golden Retriever when he was sniffing up the girls. Lol quite the sight to see a 90 pound bird dog getting chased by an 8 pound chicken lol.
