I'll join you Melinda!!! I set 38 bantam cochin eggs at 5pm on Friday the 13th. This will be my first time hatching bantams. My last two hatches were not so good, so wish me luck. And Good luck with yours!

Two more weeks to go! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I hope so also! It's been beautiful weather here, but we have to go somewhere today and tomorrow and not relax, but Sunday will finally be free and I can clean coops or something.

I just woke up this morning, went outside, and noticed something was really trying hard to dig under the coop, but didn't make it through the wire.

Well, one more week to go, but I have a very bad feeling about this hatch. I think I may have cooked my eggs

I set 42 eggs on Thursday night the 12th, so I expect chicks in a week, too. I candled at 8 days and took out eight eggs (of course, two days later I put in eight more - what a disease this hatching business it). I pencil the line the airsack makes and Sunday night, I'll candle again to make sure it is growing appropriately. No matter how many times I hatch, I get just as excited.

Yesterday, one of my hens went broody, so I isolated her and stuck 10 eggs under her.
