Day 18 is tomorrow!!

I woke up to a whole lot of nothing. The eggs haven't moved, they aren't making noise, and I've got no pips at all.... This is crazy

Good luck with your hatches- the wait is so frustrating. I have discovered that the chicks in eggs can hear! They wait until you announce that you are gonna go out and garden or do yard work and then they make their grand entrance!

I've been singing to them, clucking in the bator and keep telling them to hurry up... Either they don't like me or they're dead.

Well, whole lot of nothing here, too. However, we are all only on day 20. I keep reminding myself of that.

Ditto. If these hatch, I expect late ones. Such is my luck.

I am on day 20 too!

I have 2 of my lav X orp babies due, as well as silkie and araucana chicks. I am so excited and can't wait. I saw my first silkie and araucana pips this morning.

Good luck everyone!

Lucky! I haven't seen or heard anything yet.

At least we're all in good company.

Congrats on your pips!!!! The rest of us will have soon!!! I can feel it!!!! I just finished hanging curtains in my big chickies coop.

Right now I am tempted to break holes in all the eggs so I will at least LOOK like I have pips!!!! I really am kidding!!!!!

I feel your pain. I must look like an idiot clucking at my incubator in the basement with a baby strapped to my back holding a flashlight and peering into the glass all squinty eyed.

OMG!!!!!! My eggs just talked to me!!!!! I heard babies!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Oh, and if it helps any, we ALL look like idiots!!!! I just sit, doing a frog squat by the bator. At least the kids know exactly where to find me!!! LOL
