Eggs are a rockin' & I have another pip! **I have new 2 babies**

[ZooMummzy]

Obviously this is my first solo hatch (with lots of help from silkiechicken - thank you!)

since I'm so ecstatic over such a little thing. I have 5 eggs in silkiechicken's homemade incubator (our first hatch in it is now a sticky in this section - candling egg progression). These eggs are the last 5 viable eggs from my rooster Blake that I had to rehome last month. There are 3 EE/bantam cochin X's and 2 Japanese or Sebright/bantam cochin x's.

Now, I just sit on my hands and wait. I think it's gonna be a long night (need to buy more coffee!) because there is no way I'm going to sleep until all of these babies hatch! I missed the last one because I was at the Ohio National Poultry Show in Columbus...I'm not missing a moment of this one!

Unfortunately, lol now I'm addicted to hatching. I have about 40 eggs coming this week to go into the bator before I have to return it to silkiechicken. I see an incubator on my wish list

Good luck! I'm living vicariously, so keep me posted?

 

[ZooMummzy]

We have zipping now! None of the other eggs have pipped yet, but that's ok....we got time

WAITING WITH YOU!

 

[sangel4you]

agreed...tho I haven't gotten much studying done (hmmm maybe I shouldnt have gotten on BYC at all! LOL) so I may have to go to bed soon so I can get up early tmrw and study...

 

[kathyinmo]

I'm here! Checkin' in .... How's it going?

 

[ZooMummzy]

We are kinda stalled

The pipped egg is getting a larger zip to it but nothing is happening with the others. I'm thinking I will have at least one chick tonight or in the morning and will keep my fingers crossed the others pip over night. The waiting sucks!
