hatch day :)) 10/30/2012

This is my first time too. I thought about getting some eggs from my parents' mixed flock to add to my purchased ones, but they don't have any roosters right now--a minor setback

Mine were peeping at about midnight last night, and then my one hatched at 12:30 today, but I don't know what's normal.

Yeah that would be a set back

.. i just hope he comes out soon..i have a feeling this is going to be a long night for me! I'm very excited!

I was just looking up the same question about peeping to pipping, just a little worried that I've only seen the one. This one looks the most useful:

Time to get out a crochet project or something, I think...

yup sure sounds like it's time to get pre-occupied with something else before i go insane checking on them ever 5 mins.. loll.. guess it's about time to start dinner and give my toddlers baths.. good luck on your hatch...keep me updated and i will do the same!

I usually watch a movie or surf the net to kill time.
