I know right?!

though I confess.. I was singing to them, maybe they arent chirping cuz they are listening?

LOL! My confession: I was playing 70s music to them! I couldn't think of a better way to get them moving than Disco! Oh, wait, I should play "The Great Escape" theme to them!

Cute!


Shrink wrapping is a combination of not absorbing yolk, size of pip, humidity and time. Any egg will shrink wrap if the chick does not zip soon enough after pipping.

Lots of "GET ME OUT OF THIS EGG" cheeping going on but no pips yet. set at noon on the 11th so may have some early birds...

Aggg...I havn't heard a thing from mine...

*listens at incubator*...silence...*listens at incubator*....more silence...If my peeps are communicating with each other, they are sure doing it quietly.

x2!

I have an external pip!

The chick will be an F1 OE.

Whooooohooooo!

well, I'm in lockdown...eke!!! My husband is laughing at my nervous Nelly behavior. We breed horses, so we foal out 1-4 mares a year...I should not be this nervous and excited!

This is me...

Because its so much FUN!

Yay! This calls for eggnog time! Or maybe a martini? (you know, cuz olive?)

I like your way of thinking! I just checked again because it's been about 5 minutes since the last time and a second egg has pipped. A silkie this time. This is like Christmas except the presents unwrap themselves!

I set at 8 am East coast time and you are way over there <--------- on the Left coast so that makes my eggs like 7 hours ahead if you set at noon. Patience Grasshopper! Your bitties will arrive soon enough.
