    Are We Getting Ready to Have an Egg?

    Unfortunately I have not seen any squatting...I have not been able to be outside with them that much though....one of my speckled sussex has been starting to squat when I pet her. I am hoping we have an egg from someone soon

    I would re home the rooster. If he has tried it once he will try it again. I have to say that I would not let my 2 year old around the rooster. I have a 6 year old and I do not even let him around our hens because he scares them with his loud noises and sudden movements. I think that small...

    OMG we have a pip, NOW WHAT!?!

    OMG this is driving me nuts, we saw one pip at around 2 this afternoon and I do not think that there has been anything since. I am starting to freak out! This egg hatching is not for patient people.

    OMG we have a pip, NOW WHAT!?!

    We have 8 eggs, cochin/frizzle, silkies, speckled sussex and polish. Today is day 21. My husband put the darn incubator on top of a shelf and I have to stand on a chair to see it! I am so worried that we are going to have to help some hatch and I really do not want to do that!
