Well, I've got 2 chicks... the browns aren't rolling anymore... I'm praying for more pips

They are probably resting.

Positive, happy thoughts headed your way.

So, is Whitey actually named Whitey??????

I like Cadbury. Cute idea!!!!

Oh I hope they're resting. They don't even move when I cluck anymore. Fingers crossed over here.

I like Cadbury too. LOL I have no idea what to name a Polish chick, if it really is a Polish... Like... Gerard?

I'm just calling it Whitey, since my nieces will probably rename them anyways. I hope they're hens... the nieces were told 'males are meals'...

No pips yet. I candled. 3 are good, but no movement. 1 is in the air cell.

Opening the bator and handling them can cause the hatch fail. Hang tight.

Yeah, I know. It's been opened 3 times. I'm hoping to do more good than harm. I don't hear anything or see anything... I'm thinking it's over. It feels over

 

[luvmychicknkids]

I was hoping to get back from picking the kids up and see that you had more. Don't give up on them yet!!!!! If nothing smells nasty it doesn't have to be over yet!!!!!

Still got my fingers crossed.

Nope. Nada. I see a pinhole in a brown egg. It doesn't appear to be a pip, I can see white underneath it.

I'll give it 3 days, then it's definitely quits, I think.

 

[luvmychicknkids]

Sorry.

I will still keep my fingers crossed, and the two you got are precious!!!! Glad it isn't just one alone.

You and me both. I thought I was going to have to overnight chicks or something. I'm happy 'Whitey' hatched. They're best of buds right now. If ones sleeping, the other peeps as loud as it can to wake the sleeper up. It's pretty funny.
