I love seeing all of the adorable chicks! I am so sorry for the chicks that were lost due to incubators and silly broodies. The Kids 'N Chicks Contest is concluded! The votes are in, and the the winner is.... .... .... .... .... .... Kvmommy!!!!! for the picture of her sweet son...

The incubation tips on this thread have been awesome. Yinepu - . I've actually copied and pasted some of your advice into Word documents to save and refer to. I've set up a voting page for the Chicks 'N Kids or Kids 'N Chicks (I can't keep it straight) contest over in the Family Life area...

The "Chicks 'N Kids" (or is it "Kids 'N Chicks"? Apparently I don't know.) page is up! Go check it out and think about who you want to vote for this weekend! I'm still collecting pics - I love them all, so keep them coming! Between the pics for this contest and the little chick pictures...

Love the incubator flooring discussion! That must mean that lockdown is coming soon. We're still collecting child-and-chicken or pet-and-chicken pictures for the week 3 contest. Heck, any kind of fowl with any sort of mammal (even reptile, perhaps!) will do. Today is nearly lockdown, Day...

WOW!!! I loved all the chick/fowl/children/animals pictures! You all have some beautiful families. I love all of the sweet faces, and it is making me think about Mother's Day. Gotta get a gift! I'm the first born in the family, and I was three and a half weeks late. I was soooo late that...

Hmm. Today is also Day 15:

It's also week 3 now, so I need to repost my contest! The Chicks 'N Kids contest is for pictures of chickens or chicks with children, since this is a Mother's Day Hatch! Those who do not want to post pictures of their children on the internet or can't find a child to photograph can do...

I am pretty jealous of those with Reptipros... If only I could justify a third incubator! Maybe next year. Today is Day 14:

I am so sorry. I had a broody hatch out a lone chick and then just push it out of the nest. It's an upsetting thing to find.

Day 13 (It was a bad picture, but you can see much more with this filter.)

Just popping in to say that today is Day 12!

So sorry, jandrusrn and karimw. I think you should head over to the Cinco De Mayo Turkey Hatchalong thread. They're all turkeys hatching turkeys over there! Seriously, there are a lot of experienced turkey hatchers there and they have been explaining a lot to the newbies. Their chicks are...

Oh, my. That was fantastic. A beautiful story, and well written. That is precious. What a fantastic moment to capture! All is well. Today is Day 11.

That is just awesome. Emus are amazing.

I can't believe you are incubating in a toaster! Cool. Arielle, Yinepu, and Cynthia, I just loved reading the last 50 posts or so. You are all so open and willing to share your experiences and teach others. I love the rationed explanations and considerations of different methods. Yinepu, I...

Today is Day 9 for most of you. Good luck with all of your eggs! I ended up with eight little fuzzy-butt German New Hampshires. I'll leave the last two eggs in for a while, but I think that's a wrap! Don't these guys make a punk-ish little trio?

I love them too! So beautiful, and I love the shape! I have 4 now and 3 more pips! Silkiemelon, I bet I will have an extra roo! (Don't we always?) Where are you?

I love all of the broody pics! I don't have a room without windows either, so I wait until after nightfall and turn off all of the lights in the house and the TV. I set up a clean dish towel in front of the incubator in case I drop an egg on the table, and I candle right there. It makes for...

Today is Day 7!

Yup, that's chicken math!!! It might not count for the broody contest (I have no idea), but it would definitely count for the Chickens with Children or Animals contest week three! What an awesome dog to be so good with that chick! Well, I missed you all yesterday! I had a friend from...
