Totally know what you mean today my 8 year old broody is hatching 16 eggs, the last time i checked(10 hours ago, its 4 am now and im sleep deprived) 8 were totally out, 2 were zipped, 5 were pipped and one so sign of life(probably dead in shell)... So in a couple hours im hoping to see 15 little buggers under my big girl! Hope yours hatch and don't forget the pics seems you have a nice setup unlike meStill waiting for Agatha to hatch me out a Little Scout or two....not a sign of anything happening out there. She was off the nest for a few minutes this evening for a drink - it's been in the 90s here and she wasn't very comfortable. So while she was out I sneaked a peek from the brooder pen door. Love this set up because I don't have to go inside to look. I see 4 little eggs, doing absolutely nothing yet. I ain't no doggone good at this "patiently waiting" thing but I know I made a lot of mistakes interfering last year and I'm determined to trust her this time around. She's been sitting like a veteran broody and I owe her a little respect. (But I sure wish those eggs would hurry up!)
