Are you crazy??? I'm suppose to sit in the house while my baby is out in the hen house hatching babies of her own???

Okay, I just realized that I am the crazy one! LOL!

I hadn't thought about separating her from the other hens (10 in all plus one roo). I guess I could keep myself busy coming up with a solution to that issue!

Some people don't seperate their mommas from the flock, she'll take care of them. This hatching is nerve racking to say the least but that's what we do it for. Just sit back and try really hard not to run to the hen house very five minutes.

Just hatched out #13 today. Nine RIR bantams, three naked necks and one black wyandotte bantam so far.

Well still going, just hatched 9 and 10. Another BR and an unknon from a dark egg

Not much going on with mine right now. Still waiting on two chicks to zip and get outta there so I can get all my chicks out of the bator. They've been working at it all day. Today's day 23 for my first batch, and day 22 for the others. I'm not expecting a whole lot more. Very disappointed in my Marans eggs, as nothing at all has happened with them. I'll give them a couple more days, they're on day 22, then pull them to check them out. But other than that, I'm very well satisfied with my hatch. Got 5 more BBS Orps to add to my little flock, which makes me very happy. And lots and lots of other cute little fluffy butts

Congratulations on all the new babies

I am still waiting for my first pip

I think i am going to go crazy before it happens

I look every 5 minutes and nothing ever changes

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

My Silkies usually start hatching a day early. Yours must be super-lazy. lol

C'mon, little lazy Silkies!!

Tomorrow is my day off, but i told my husband to wake me if there is any sign of pipping going on

I'm sure you'll have a pip before then. They're just teasing you. At least you have the day off tomorrow. It would not be a fun day at work. Here's hoping for pips tonight.
