Blame?! Blame?! 

There is no blame here-- accept your addiction happily... as we all do. 
But if I had to point the finger... I'd have to blame my friend who gave me my bator.
LOVE her!!

Ha!

That last chick sounds pretty!  Congrats!

Should blame my landlord...it was his Grandfather's!
Seen my chickens & wanted sum....he has bantams
Their thin built compare to my large breed.

Gotta luv Friends!!....I'll accept this Addiction with Pride!!
Atleast it's a GOOD kind!!

Sent an e-mail to the son (worked with him at the Nuke Plants in Florida)
Hope I find out soon!!
The suspense has me on edge!!

Yes she (hopin) is GORGEOUS!!....just like her Daddy is!!

Oh yeah!  
Yippee for pips!! 
I love the research part of it too!  And it's just amazing how much you learn from each hatch- what worked well, what not to do next time... all that good stuff! Thanks for passing along the girl vibe for me! 

It goes to show every1....no matter how old u r
U can learn sumthing new!!

This my 1st time usin a incubator...(lost my virginity )
But learned....
It's Alot of hard work & time consuming!...turn the eggs, adjusting humidity & temp with outside temps (glad I moved it in my office...much easier!)
Need a window to see humidity, temps & progress inside....Bator TV!!!
Gonna research how to maintain humidity without addin water every 1-2 hours!
And very Lil sleep durin Lock Down!!

But in all....very Exciting & Rewarding Experience!!!

Girls, Girls & More GIRLS!!!

No# 7 has arrived!!....it's 18 hours late

Chicks r soooo unpredictable!!!

That's 6 outta 8 from my girls for the 17th.....( 2 was from the refrig...wanted to experiment)
Now I know for sure, refrigerated eggs stop the fertilization once they hit 45 degrees r lower!!

Read bout it both ways....so I tested it myself!!

Gahhh! Went out to check on the new babies and was concussed with cuteness! One chick peeping out of Summer-mamma's feathers on eiher side and one standing on her back! Raced to get the camera and when I got back, all were in hiding. From now on I carry a camera with me whenever I go to the coop.

My little wryneck chick died this morning. So sad. Now I have one with spraddle feet. Not a bad case, he can stand up and hobble around. I have put the brace on and will see how that goes. My first hatch and all these problems. I seriously think that GOD is either telling me to stop messing with his work or else putting these hurdles in way my to make me stronger for the next time. Afraid to see what the next hatch brings.
The three eggs that are still in the bator show no signs of hatching yet. I'll give it another day or so and then do an eggtopsy. On the positive side, the other chicks are doing GREAT. I can't believe how big they have gotten in just a few days.

That always happens to me too. Never have my camera or cell phone with me when I need it.
