My phone isn't letting me post pics. Number one could have pipped last night, but I saw it around one this afternoon. I just saw breathing, so it is still alive. Number two had a pinhole at eleven tonight, is almost done zipping ... IS HERE! !!
Third egg is just beginning.

I think my next set is due for lockdown Friday, the CCL, Polish brahma and I need to figure out the contournix, I had to pull two eggies last night. I need more eggs now, since I am talked into using our double rabbit hutch for good use.

SALLY IS RIGHT SALLY IS RIGHT SALLY IS RIGHT SALLY IS RIGHT SALLY IS RIGHT SALLY IS RIGHT ...

I drowned a chick. At 2 in the morning, still pretty drunk, and very tired, I thought I had about a day before the chicks would commit suicide. I don't have any sponges (I am getting some today) and I don't have marbles (no comment!). The water is out now except in the reservoirs and a bullion (chicken of course!) jar with a paper towel in it.
What is really awesome is that another chick made it out in the 4 hours I kept myself from looking. Man those things pip to zipped fast! All 3 were in a few hour's time!
The one that was pipping last night IS still alive. It began to zip, but stopped. I saw yellow. I guess it broke its yolk sack. I thought it was dead, and didn't feel too bad about it. Then I saw movement inside.

I think I saw an EE moving. The most amazing thing (as if this miracle weren't amazing enough) is that I wasn't expecting anything until Thursday due to the temps dipping low.

No I didn't... If it happens again, I'll be sure to take pictures.

I don't have very much time for research (I need to study for finals) but so far, I haven't been able to find anything about mold or fungus growing INSIDE eggs.
