I just heard peeping in the bator and hubby tells me storms are headed our way!  I already see lightning!   Seriously?  Are we for real?  I can not believe my luck.  My stomach hurts I'm so nervous!  I'm going to get the towels ready to have them on standby.

AWWWWW!! Cotton!! Too freaking cute!! I'm seriously jealous! I want my fuzzies!! >_<<br />
Chickster, I bet you're getting the storm I was hit with this afternoon. My power was out for about two hours, but I put a blanket around the bator and the temps from my water wiggler only dropped a few degrees. The eggs should generate their own heat now, so that little dip probably didn't bother them. I can still hear peeping and tapping. Hope that makes you feel better, wink.png

At 4:30AM, no one in the bator was making a peep or movement. 

 

By 6:30AM, I had 2 pips & A LOT of inside the shell chirping.

 

Now, 8:30AM, I have 4 pips & very little inside the shell chriping.

 

There's no unzipping yet.  Only cracks in the shells.  The bantam surprises were the 1st to pip.  Their eggs are soooo tiny that it makes me nervous.  My Golden Polish were next.  Now if my Jersey Giants & 2 silkies will get with the program all will be well.  Well actually, all will be well if they all hatch and are healthy.  How's every one else doing?

Woke up just in time to see my first hatch! It was zipped and I got to see it pop out! Two more are pipped, and the other 3 don't have much going on, but it's only day 20, so I'm not worrying yet. The hatched one is peeping very loudly, sounds strong, but I can't tell if any of the others are peeping! Lol

I had 4 hatch over night! 2 i woke to see push out.. Then went back to sleep with just one egg pip when i woke egg was zipping but i had one who hatched very fast incomparison....

I dont know bout you guys but watching them wobble around getting there strength is painful... I have 4 eggs left.... 2 i questioned ... Gonna take out the babies from the incubator in a bit cause saw some pecking at egg shells, andeant the newly hatched ones to get some rest.
