Thanks! He is loving these chicks. He's been off from school all this past week. All three of us have. He does not want to go back tomorrow and leave his little buddies behind. Neither do I!!!

Thanks!!!
We are all done. The fifth egg unfortunately seems to have stopped developing at some point. We are happy with our three babies and looking forward to receiving the chicks we ordered in April.
Thanks for all the support along the way everyone!!
Aw, thanks Okie. Here they are this morning:
Unfortunately numner 4 didn't make it beyond the pip. Still hopeful that number 5 will hatch. In the meantime we're enjoying Prima, Olive and Georgie.
Thanks guys! I never could have done this without you! Oh wait, it never would have occured to me to try this without you!! LOL!!
Here are Olive and Prima from above.
I'm trying to get a shot from the side to show Olive's cute little fluffy feet.
We now have three chicks and a fourth pip! The only egg not pipped is the buttercup silkie cross. I really want to see that one. Come on chickie you can do it!!

I borrowed the Hova-Bator forced air from school. Has a turner. What I really needed was a more accurate thermometer and hygrometer. I felt like I was guessing the whole time. Still do!

I'm worried about the others because not much is going on. One has a chip in it. The chick rolled it over. Ah!
I just noticed I have my first chick and 1000 posts tonight!
It's only day 19 but the serama/silkie/modern game egg fallenweeble sent me is pipping away. It's loud too! It's been chirping all day. One of the silkie eggs has a chunk missing with membrane still covering it. I hope it makes it out. That egg and the other three are quiet and still. The serama...
