February 2023 hatch-a-long

On a scary note, this is a reminder to not let eggcitement get the best of you, and handle the eggs CAREFULLY. I accidentally dropped #14 on top of #15 egg, about 2-inch drop, neither of which had pipped externally yet. I was just checking them. Should have left well enough ALONE. They're both cracked now. Here's hoping I didn't damage anything, and just expedited their hatch is all.

And here I go….scared, nervous, and excited all at once. There are 15 Ayam Cemani eggs and 5 Cochin. The Cochins are just because I know they are fertile and I need to increase those numbers just a little. Even if I only get one to hatch.

Perfect! But there's no reason to really be scared. I was scared at first but now even if none of them hatch you know you've tried your best.

Amazing!!!!! What day are you? Sorry I am so bad at remembering.
