i seriously just got all choked up and i am glad i am wearing my glasses and not contacts. OMG!! Love!!! I have a special relationship with my grandpa too. I'm his "fishing buddy". He is in Daytona and been very ill for a long long time, but some how he just keeps pushing past all these crazy milestones no one ever thought he could. Its a miracle every day. My whole world will shatter when he loses this epic battle against 4 diff cancers and emphazema.(sp?) I loved hearing this story this morning. Now to go find kleenex!!!

OK you guys gotta quit this

I can't take it!

Well, I am here at my son's bowling tournament. It just started.

I got up at 5:30 (EST) and there were no chirping or star cracks yet... But, I held my light up to the bator & did my cheater candle and chick #4 did internal pip!! I could see the beak and chick movement in the air space. So cool. She's got a bit to go so I'm hopeful she'll hold off until I get home. I didn't see any internal pips on any of the other eggs, but did see a little movement against the membrane/sack on one other egg... I know it's working at it.

So that's the only update I have so far.

Adam, congrats in the chickie-doodle!!! I think you should be ok to leave her be for a bit. She'll take a little to gain her strength an will start crawling all over the place. Yahoo!

Keep with the updates & pics everybody...
I've got hours here until I can get home to check my own babies.

Hard to be away but might be better to be away not million trips to the bator and what can u do anyway but look?
Maybe a big suprise when you get home babies and pips and zipsGOOD LUCK!!

awww honey..i havent dealt with dead chicks yet, but, i have lost probably 100 eggs so far. I am just messin with you anyhow...i am actually super excited for you!!

LOL I know that & I know you are excited for me

BTW where are you getting the cute emo-cons?

So I ended up w/ 9 chicks! the last 2 were hatched out when I woke up. The 10th egg, was a dead chick- looks like it was possible double yolker? That's why the egg looked so full I suppose. Anyway I am thrilled w/ the 9 chicks! When the last 2 dry I will do a group pic

Congrats on the new chickies to everyone!

Look how cute they all are!!! I'll bet your daughter is so excited!

She's our grandbaby and she loves the chicks. She checked the incubator every morning and loves to help me feed the older ones. 23 of the 26 ended up making it. Even "Sticky" the one I had to peel out is doing good now. He is the runt of the litter. Will send some updated pics later today, I left my camera at work and just brought it back.
