I just have to throw in that I'm so glad I joined this Hatch thread! Everyone's encouraging words are super helpful. Comparing "notes" has been super great. I think I would've drove my husband up the wall if I hadn't joined. Thank You to all!!

Holy smokes we have been hatching for 3 days over here. 2 on Friday, 2 on Saturday, and 3 this afternoon. Just waiting on one more. No pip yet, but yesterday was day 21, and these last 3 came in near the end, so I am holding out hope this one will pip and zip by morning.


First hatch. What an adventure! One stuck its foot through yolk sack and almost didnt make it at all. I had to intervene with him. That was scary. One pipped, and zipped within 20 minutes while my back was turned dealing with "Special Ed". Two were sticky chicks, that was a mess. All of them but one took atleast 9 hours between pip to zip. Then zipped in like 20 minutes. My smallest egg actually hatched first, is truly loud and proud that she is THE BOSS, and she is actually starting to look bigger than the rest. hmmmm. She picks on "Special Ed". I had to peck her twice because she just went too far. She had "Special Ed pinned on his back pecking the heck out of him. I nailed her right on the top of the head. she is so awnry if she is ... awake! The only time she is tolerable is when she is sleeping. The others are sweetie pies.

They are all the size of my thumb, and running at top speed in the brooder like a pin ball machine. Don't tell anyone but they spent two nights in the bed with me.

Hey, you laugh, but I want them bonded strong to me. Plus it was so fun to cuddle with them. Please take a moment to imagine my husband sleepng with this nonsense. Honestly I put them all in with me to protect them from Rizzo. I tried to just keep Special Ed with me, but he kept screaming for everyone else. So, it was either put him back and let her kill him before he gots strong enough to defend himself, or drop them all down my pajama top. In they went, and off to la la land within seconds. Oh shush! WHATEVER... I needed SLEEP, and it worked.

So anyway...heading over to my Baby Momma's house tomorrow bright and early to pick up the chicks she hacthed for me. All the kids are in the brooder in the garage and I am WIDE awake because I am scared to death that the heat lamp is going to catch a fire and I wont know it cause I am sleeping. Thank goodness I live in Souther most Florida. They won't even need a heat lamp longer than a week cause it's 90 degrees here in the shade at night time. So, I guess I will be awake nights for the next week.

will you be starting another hatch thread?? I would love to participate and my eggs should arrive wednesday...
 
I started a couple of days after everyone and they just went into lock down last night. Should be here sometime on Wed I think. Quick question though. If I set on a Wed evening does this count as 1 or does Thursday evening count as day 1? I've been counting as Thrusday evening counts as 1 as its a whole 24 hours. If its the other way the chicks should be here tomorrow and I put them into lock down a day late....
