Well finally, tomorrow is lock down...LOL for me, and I think a couple of others. I will be seeing more pictures of baby chicks I hope! Will help with the chick fever of waiting!

Raven..is that two pips I see in that cam??! Maybe there are more and we just can't see them? Yaay, you will be up a while watching, I just know it!

My 'bator is pretty quiet right now. Locked down 8 out of 21 eggs, mostly non fertile. I dislike my cooler 'bator and am planing a treasure chest 'bator

This thing is HUGE! I will post some pics. I'm going to purchase the 225 watt incu kit from incubator warehouse I think.


So just curious, what does everyone hatch in?

Hello all!
Yes, I am finally back. I have been in the hospital, a first time kidney stone attack. How God AWFUL! Then the drugs made me sick.
And to make it all just peachy...then "it" just wants to stay in an party!

I had my college kids come home, they helped me pull off Christmas. Now they have returned home.

We had our first chick hatch about 5:00 PM, December 31! Early, wow, with the way the eggs looked when I candled this surprises me.
It was one of the eggs we collected here at home, laid on my daughter's birthday. It is so cute!

We have about 5 pipping, but I do not have much hope for any of my Welsummers. I candled them, and they all looked empty.
We have opened three eggs, two looked like regular eggs, at day 18! One had some gelatinous stuff. My kids were so bummed!
I was so surprised they didn't even stink!

I sure hope you are feeling better, I don't know about kidney stones, but from what I hear the are as bad as having a baby. I have been off work since Oct 29 with a hip bursitis and man you won't believe that it would take this long to heal, I go back to work Thursday, not fully out of pain, but I need to go back.

winner #3 yet???

NOPE soon
