4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[ronott1]

Here's the sign that I told you about earlier.




And here is my first egg art entry. It's nothing fancy because I only have pencils right now, but it is what it is. The sad part is that I set it down on the couch while I was uploading the pictures and someone sat on it. At least I have the pictures.









As far as the NYD eggs, I tried not to look at them too long. I only have 5 that still look promising and I didn't even see movement in all of them. 3 that looked great for a while, appear to have died but I haven't removed anyone from todays candling. The incubator feels so empty with such a small hatch.

It's all normal!

You will not see much movement in the eggs as you get close to lockdown. Then you often hear them chirping and chipping inside the shell.

I understand that, but the in the 3, I didn't see movement, but I did see more clear spots and their veins diminished. I won't throw anything out, but they sure don't look very promising and there is still a week to go, can't they just hatch now? hahaha.

Mine are very close in age to yours. They are 2, 5, 7 1/2, and 9. But my 2 year old is like a Tasmanian devil, he has so much energy I wouldn't be able to get him to sit still long enough to unwrap a present with wrapping paper.

LOL...I'm waiting for him to look at me and go "MiMi, mine!" These are "my" grandchildren. They've lived with us most of the last year. They and Mom moved out just after Thanksgiving, and I have the 2 yo most every day...so he helped me shop....LOL...Ok....he helped me pick out his presents! Can't wait for them to get here in the morning..ok..I can...I'm looking forward to sleeping in!

Nothing fancy? That's awesome...I so wish I had some of ya'lls talent!

No, at this point in incubation they will be fine.

I would go ahead and turn them now and then first thing in the morning when you get up.
