ANYONE HAVE EGGS DUE!! CHARTS ON PAGE ONE POST ONE!! NEWCOMERS WELCOME!!!

Today is hatch day at school!!! Yesterday morning there was a pip in one, but it hadn't done much else before my son left school for the day. I'll be getting an update in about 2 hours from him. I'm hoping we can get them all hatched by the end of school today, although I doubt that will happen. That means several trips to school for us over the weekend to see how they're doing. Once they're all hatched I'm bringing them home!!

Hope the kiddos have a great hatch rate. I am really impatient, our hatchday isn't til Thursday! Luckily this time I have some that are actually moving around in there. My poor kids were so disappointed that their ducks didn't hatch. I had to go buy some ducklings...lol

Thanks! I do too. They've been moving around. My son said he could hear peeping from the pipped egg. It's funny, I was at Tractor Supply yesterday getting some Blue Kote and they had their chicks in there. My son called me from school while I was there and said.."get some chicks!" I told him I'd have to wait until next week when we know for sure what hatches at school. It was so tempting! They had 3 little ducks in there too! I've never really had the desire for ducks, but boy, they were so cute! Really, before last year, I never had the desire for chickens! Now look what happened!!

Hahahaha! The left one pipped around Noon yesterday...soooooo. Things should be moving right along soon. I can hear lots of squeaking in there from those two eggs on the camera and lots of moving too.

lmbo...they are addicting. I didn't have the desire for ducks either, but someone gave us duck eggs and they didn't hatch (temp spikes

) Then we went to pet/farm store to pick something up and my 4 yo saw the ducks...I really have a hard time denying that boy..that's how come we have 2 baby goats and a rabbit and his nutball dog and the chickens. And now I'm hatching out more chickens..I can't wait til next week to see them fluffy butts!
 
LOL! That's exactly how I ended up with chickens last year! My son (17) decided he wanted chicks. I told him that his dad would wring his neck if he brought them home. Well, he brought them home. Dad did throw a fit, but we had an unexpected ally. Our 3 year old granddaughter. My son said.."Papaw is making me get rid of the chicks!" Well, the granddaughter turned on the tears, and outside to the workshop papaw went, finding all the lumber he had to build a coop!
On another note.. My son got a text from one of the little girls using the teacher's phone before he left the house this morning. One chick has hatched, 2 beaks are visible, and 2 more pips!! I've instructed him to take pics and text to me ASAP!!!
