Got 4 now with another 6 piping well. All of my light Sussex have at least piped fingers crossed they all make it  out. 1 welsummer egg no sign but I was dubious as to whether that one had died during development looks like it did. The welsummer eggs I got off eBay were rubbish the LS very good. I need to go to bed now as up at 5:30 for work but can't tear myself away. ;D

Well after just 3 hrs sleep were the proud parents to 9 LS with number 10 still on her way out as I left for work. Was worried she'd died but she redoubled her efforts and made a nice crack so should be in incu when get home. I'm dead chuffed the hatch has done so well. Piccies when I get in from work promise Annie.
