Congrats Oldtimegator and Mamaboyd!

Mamaboyd, so sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Those little fluffy butts are sure to give you a boost

I hope you feel better soon.

Oldtimegator those pics and videos are fantastic! It makes me even more impatient for mine to start popping out!

So far my first little pip in Egg #1 has become a slightly larger pip and I have a teeny weeny pip in Egg #2...even heard a faint little cheeping!!

Thanks for all the well wishes and good hatching vibes, keep 'em coming!!!

Congratulations once again, everyone!

I'm still waiting over here for the pips and peeps to begin... but the pics and videos will hold me over a little better ..and I'll take a rest from checking the bator every couple minutes LOL

Take care of that cold, mamaboyd! My DH shared his icky virus with me, so I am in the same boat here ...achey and icky all around. Feel better!!

I hope you feel better soon too aneesamuse! So how come we are feeling sick and we're up late watching our bators

So much for getting any rest, haha.
You're eggs will be hatching soon, don't worry! My first hatch didn't start until day 21 and it went to day 24.

Well ..the virus was getting the best of me and I went to lay down, but then my DH started floppin' around and getting ready for work and stuff. I dozed off when I heard him lock the door ..and then, "Bam bam bam" on the window to tell me one of my darn geckos was making a run for it!

Sheesh! That got me up and runnin'!! Sunny was on the screen door, making her way outside to the porch ...she bit me too! Stinker!!

She's in Fort Knox now and I checked the inc'ys one more time ...not one little pip.. so I'm off to try this again... the sleep stuff, I mean.

Feel better!

Good luck everyone!!

Well, this morning the first pip is getting bigger and I have teeny weeny pips on three others.

My poor little chick egg with the air cell on the side has no pip. I sure hope that one does something while I am at work today. It was so active during the time I was candling I hate to think it might have died.

On a more cheerful note, when I woke up this morning I could hear little peeping sounds!

I thought I might have missed a hatch but they are all still in their eggs...just chatting it up.

aneesasmuse I hope you feel better soon. Lock down those pets, crawl into bed and dream sweet dreams of fluffy butts.

Hrm, that just made a dream come back to me. I just remembered I had a dream that my silkie eggs all hatched but they turned out to be ducks instead. Now I am dreaming about hatching too. Guess I better go back and look for that rehab thread!

Ohh, egg#2 started zipping like crazy and just as I was starting to post about it, it popped out! Here are pics of our first baby!

Fantastic! Congratulations to everyone's hatching!!

As of 7:00 when I left for work we had 14 hatched, 2 zipping and 2 with no pips. Today is day 22 so I haven't given up hope for the last 2 yet. They were alive and well on day 18.

Thank you to my daughter who spent the night in the incubator room so I could get some sleep before work today.

Here are this mornings pics:

Yay for everyone!!

Woke up this morning after a few short hours of sleep, and had 5 more babies running around! So that makes 7 hatched and 21 eggs pipped, still waiting on 4 more eggs to pip, 2, I don't know if they are any good though.

This is so much fun!

and I'm feeling much better, I think seeing those chicks this morning helped

Oldtimemitegator,
Awesome hatch, how did that one do that was pipped for 10 hours or more?
Alot less mess with the egg carton method isn't there? I have 7 more days to go for my hatch. I can't wait.
