Day two of hatching sees us with 7 chicks. There is still one to hatch which we are hoping will happen. One had a good sized hole in it's shell but then died. Apparently, this is a fairly good hatch for artificial incubation. I'll probably transfer them to the nursery tonight if the last hatcher survives.
Edited to add the latest photos of them after I moved them from the incubator to their nursery. The last egg hatched at about midday. It's the second little black one. They still need to huddle under the lamp for a bit but while I had the cover off they all started to eat. Bodes well for successful raising.
