Day 19. Anxiety

[Mother of Chicks]

You're in the right place to be the crazy chicken lady - tell me what the app is called!!

 

[Krisitne]

Lol I know! It's called Bird Chirping Sound by Infinite apps. I let it run on its timer for 1/2 hour. Ok I'm going to try to sleep. It's almost 2 am

No pips yet. I saw a little wiggle yesterday! I think the lack of sleep finally caught up to me. I actually slept for more than 4 hours last night.

 

[Mother of Chicks]

I haven't had a wiggle, a peep, a pip or anything at all. I am working from home, next to an incubator & playing chirping sounds as my background 'music' and paying far too much attention to eggs. It's lunch time here so I am hoping something will happen soonish - otherwise I am camping downstairs tonight next to the incubator.

It’s so hard not to just stare at the incubator haha. Mid day 20 here and we got out first pip with a little cheeping going on

“Background music” made me laugh...I totally hear ya! It’s 6:30 am here. I slept from 2 to 4. Got bummed out at 4 because nothing was happening and went back to bed and now just checked n there is a pip on one egg! Yours will happen too!

 

[Krisitne]

Checked my three broodies out in the coop n when I sat still I could hear chicks hammering away at their shells!

 

[Djones24]

I've got one pipped! And chirping.

All the others are just sitting there doing nothing. But hey, it's a start. It's one of my Brahmas.

 

[Krisitne]

Jeez...i just checked the coop and one of my Silkie mothers was off the nest and running back n forth freaking out. And the eggs she has are pipping. Thank goodness she climbed back on her nest. She’s had chicks before so I was surprised to see her doing that. I hope the chicks r ok. I didn’t think they went off their nest once the chicks started hatching. Now I’m stressed all over again!
