On day 19 - I can't believe it!!! Just one egg out of 41 so far but YEAH!!! My parents stopped over to visit and I had to take them down to show them my bators. Dad said "I think that one just moved!" I looked closer and saw it had pipped!

I'm SO EGGCITED!!!!!

It's an exciting thing no matter how many times you do it. I love it when I "think" I hear peeping from the eggs.

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

I don't hear any peeping at all - was surprised to even see the pip!!! Didn't even see it move

It's like missing your kid's first steps!!!! HOLY MOLY!!!

 

[seminolewind]

Well you're not done hatching yet. Sometimes I peep and they peep back.

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

I'll have to run down and peep at it...please hold...

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

Must still be napping...but can you SEE it???!!!

Can you tell this is my first time?

 

[kellim]

I SEE IT!!!

I can't wait for an update!!!!

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

YEAH!!! It's not just me!!! Still nothing further...a few hours ago when we first noticed it, I saw it poke its little beak through - now nothing.

I WILL NOT PANIC...I WILL NOT PANIC...AND I WILL NOT NOT NOT OPEN THE LID...

Take Deep Slow Breaths, then duck tape that top down to stay out !!! lol Well of course till you "just have to open it

!!!" lol Thanks for the update.

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

Thanks for being there for me!! I need a 12 step program about now - this is nerve wracking!!

Still nothing more

so I'm heading to bed soon and hope that I'll be surprised in the morning. Thought I saw another one move but I'm not sure. It's still so early! But the eggs are from our own chickens so I think they might have started incubating while I was saving them up.

Will give you HOPEFULLY a better update in the morning, if I can sleep!!
