bator watching is sooooo addictive.....right?

[lilbreeches]

ok so what makes this such an addiction?

my kids and hubby are not addicted like me. its just me. i walk over and look at the bator like a zillion times in a day. knowing we are only on day 4. candled a few today and actually saw ones heartbeat. now my boys just LOVED that. saw others veining. so exciting! it makes me want to just sit and hold each one and give it some love

. my little hova bator is full right now and I have some eggs coming soon (I hope, from a byc member) and duck eggs from ebay. now i have to go to my uncle and beg for the right to borrow his unused bator. why can i not control the urge to hatch, hatch, HATCH

!!!!! I have to avoid the sales forum so as not to order MORE eggs! so, just wondered if anyone has a true reason this is such an addiction?

The miracle of life! You are in control of those little peep's destiny. Getting the incubation right, brooding, feeding/watering, nurturing... So, when they grow up and gather at your feet (for food of course...), you know you've accomplished something. Hmm... Pretty deep!

I attempted to hatch two duck eggs last October, and I remember how addicting egg watching was. I would sit there for like half an hour before I went to bed, and just make sure everything was perfect!

I actually killed my one egg because I saw the heartbeat for the first time and couldn't resist but keep watching it. Then I had to of course show my family which didn't help. The next day it died. I think I cooked part of the egg with the light bulb I used to candle the egg. I was blessed to even see the heartbeat though!!

I'm glad its not only me. BYC is more than fun, its my new hatching support group!!

It is very addictive!!! But, luckily for me, hubby is just about as bad...it hits him on day 18 when the eggs get taken out of the turner. We even have his and her flashlights!

and it gets worst the more fuzz butts you hatch out, just got to help them chickens take the world over!!!!!!

If you find the antidote please let me know.

Because I'm addicted.

But it's FUN!!!
