Oh those are so darling, your kids will love them. Your a pretty amazing person. Just from reading this post of yours, I have gleaned that your are a mom to 3 kids, a student on top of it, incubating eggs & making very special Christmas gifts for your kids. Did I miss anything? Pretty amazing accomplishments.

haha, thanks! I am usually on top of it when it comes to school. And I love doing special things for my kids plus we are on a tight budget this year so handmade gifts are perfect. My daughters are also getting a dress up armoire, Anna and Elsa yarn wigs and capes and my son is getting a toy gun safe and a custom table fort oh and of course they are all getting the pj monsters.. pinterest is an awesome thing, I get so inspired on there.

And this is my first time hatching chicken eggs but if it continues to go well it most likely won't be my last time, it's so exciting and the kids are loving it and I am sure they are going to be super excited to see these guys whenever they finally come out!

Surprisingly I am as cool as a cucumber here on day 19! I thought I was gonna be so tired and stressed but I slept great last night. My incubator held at 65% and 100 degrees from 4pm to 11pm yesterday. I figured since it held so well I was good to go to sleep and it probably wouldn't drop significantly. I thought I might have woke up at least once and I'd go check on it but I ended up sleeping till 5am and thought about getting up but I have to be up at 6am so I figured 1 hour wouldn't make a huge difference. When I got up it was still at 100 degrees and only dropped to 62%! Nothing exciting happening on the outside yet but I'm sure those chicks are getting into position and maybe trying to make an internal pip!

Meanwhile I take my last final tonight, it'll be a piece of cake! And I've been busy making my kids Christmas gifts. I don't have any cute fluffy babies to show off yet but I can show you the cute pj monsters I made! you unzip the mouth and put pajamas into them!

How's everyone else doing today?

Renee...those are sooo ADORABLE!!! I have been looking for a craft I can do with my daughter for her 3 little brothers ( her Dad re-married) Anyhow, that is such a cute idea especially since they are 3 boys under 5! LOVE THAT! Best of luck with your hatch & final today! I am glad that your incubator was good for you last night and you got some sleep!

Came home to 2 chicks hatched and another pipped (so thats 2 pipped right now)!! all of these are from my shipped eggs. I have 4 marans and 2 silkie eggs of my own in there that aren't doing anything yet. I tried to take pics but since they are dark chicks in a dark incubator you can't really see much lol

Awesome...can't wait to see their pic tomorrow or whenever they come out! Were those Vicky's eggs?

yes they were. did you hatch sizzles from her?

 

[Purpletie3]

yes they were. did you hatch sizzles from her?

Yes, those were her sizzles. Unfortunately, my splash have not hatched. I sure yours are going to be as adorable as mine...they are so cute. I have 3 with partridge coloring and one that is the mailman's chick...it's yellow with stripes down his back...and quite a bit bigger that all others.

I really love this chicken thing....it's like Christmas when you get to finally see your presents! Except the presents squak and poop.

They will love watching them hatch. My granddaughter loves being here at hatch time. It's so eggciting for everyone.
