    FINALLY they are all asleep! We've left them alone today apart from a quick cuddle because the kids were busting a gut! I'll take some close ups tomorrow, there is one with its down plastered to its head, it looks like it is straight out of the bryl cream era!! Hilarious!

    Congratulations chick mama! I had a good ol' laugh about the beak braving - because it takes a fair bit of bravery to stick your hand in there...and it never really hurts when she taps you, it's just the thought that hurts!!! To upload from your phone open the forum on your phone, go to...

    September Hatch-A-Long

    Oh Yeah, feelin' your pain there! This is why I set my first day forward a full 24 hrs so I'm not jumping impatiently around the incubator in the last day. It worked REALLY well this time. Today is 'hatch day' and I have 10 fuzzies, one newborn and one still trying in the morning of.....no...

    NUP, I just re-read the guide to assisted hatching and it said the chicks can go three days without food or water - I thought it was one. Guess I will just sit on my hands!!! I'm pretty sure some are in trouble in there - one that pipped over 24 hrs ago, I don't hold much hope for that...

    LOL, I can't work out how many I have left to hatch...the ducklings are getting hungry though - one is still drying out so I'll wait for the fluff :)

    September Hatch-A-Long

    So how long should I wait out these eggs? I have ducklings that have been hatched for almost twenty four hours - can I leave them longer to give them food? A mother would sit on her eggs for a while longer surely. I still have 7 or 8 to hatch so i would like to give them another night to have a...

    Wow! So all this happened while you were at work? Lol. You've got a pretty darn good hatch rate there! I didn't do the thing with the egg carton, but I might next time...my guys have made an incredible mess of things!! About 7 eggs are shoved up one end and the two eggs down the playroom end...

    September Hatch-A-Long

    Wow, they really do pop out like popcorn after the first!! I don't even know how many are running around in there - Poor little late eggs!! One of the ones I marked as an early internal pip at lockdown is only just now hatching - the first external pip has made no progress and may be a no show...
