Hands on hatching and help

[WVduckchick]

I'm not as experienced as the others in this thread, but I worry when they are too quiet, so often I will make a small hole for them. Last one I did this for was malpositioned in such a way that it could not reach the shell to pip. For me it's darned if you do, darned if you don't...

Egads! I took my stethoscope off my ears, got my drill bit ready and held it up to the egg when I heard a muffled peeping. I jumped! I couldn't tell if it came from the bator next to my head or the egg in my hand so now I'm trying to patiently tap on bator and egg listening for the peeping again. Lol.

Yay! Its the egg and the bator! This egg is just a quiet one I guess. I hear it scratching and to tap it with the stethoscope to finaly hear a peep peep peep. Then I heard an answering peep from the bator! To cool! No intervention needed yet!

They like to test our patience... (is that why they call them patients?)

I believe that's EXACTLY why they call them patients. It's just spelled differently so as not to be obvious.

Well my 1 and only polish bantam is internally pipped. So are one of my Cochins. I'm really excited for these to hatch. Got a mixed lot of suprise colors. It's exciting almost like Christmas come early lol.
