7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

Anyone familiar with Edgar Allen Poe? I have "The Tell-Tale Heart" running through my head. I am nervous! Very very dreadfully nervous! But no one here would call me mad. This disease has sharpened my senses! I hear peeping and chirping and ... Seriously. I am already ready for these eggs to hatch! I should have just set them two weeks ago when I got these ducks! :barnie
That happens to me too! I am so disappointed when I run to the incubator and realize it was a bird outside tweeting....
Or when you have just put the babies outside, and you hear a horrible noise only to discover it's two wild birds fighting with each other.
 
Arkansas rain:
400
 
How chickens work:

So, I only had one white Ameraucana laying one egg every other day. I was going to be lucky if i had 6 eggs by the 11th (laid on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th). Then my other white Ameraucana hen started laying every day. So I was expecting more than enough... But now they're both a day behind their schedule, so I'm worried I won't have any.

Chickens never do what I expect...

Sounds about right! :gig

Just like when mine start laying well and someone wants eggs... sure, they're laying great... and I swear they hear that... suddenly there is a severe egg shortage... :/

They better start laying again :( otherwise I won't be able to join in the hatch along... Unless I use quail eggs, which I just got my first quail egg from today! :) Yay!
