Day 21 starts in 1 hour. Air sacs are big and beautiful, chicks are alive and moving. No internal pips, no rocking and rolling, no chirping. Trying to be patient, it's hard. I was hoping for at least an Easter pip. Looks like I'll have April chicks after all...really hoping for some tomorrow, April Fools Chicks!!

How exciting! Go Chickies Go!!!

Mine are Due the 13th of April
Ordered 42 golden seabright eggs, they sent 48!
Just finished a day 8 candling and here are the results:
27 looking good with nice air bubble and lively chicks.
10 with lively chicks, but horrid looking air bubbles.
11 discarded, clears, and blood rings.
Man, I sure hope I end up with a dozen chicks out of this batch.
From here on out, I am only incubating eggs that I can pick up in person.

On bright note, my three grand daughters were here for Easter, and I just happened to have some 17 day old silkies!
My middle grand daughter, with Cerebral Palsy seemed to really enjoy them.

Boy, seeing Malcolm bare foot in the dirt has me yearning for spring!
Snow is still knee deep here, and we got a fresh coating here Easter morning.
Neat to see your children growing up with dirt and animals, wish all kids could get that!

Thank you!! It's been really important to me to get to a point where we could get animals and have land around us. I'm so lucky that my husband works so hard to make my dreams come true. He loves the chickens as much as I do I'll send sunny thoughts your way!

My bantam BLRW's are hatching! One is out and a couple more pipped. Going to bed and hope to wake up to an incubator full of fluffy chicks!
