Congrats on the new additions.

Hatch day comes ever 7 days now, and I still get mesmerized every hatch.

A watched bator never does hatch!!! I slept in and awoke to peeping in my bator with my first chick ever a few days ago so yes this is very true!

Yeah, Bill......I was down there at the pole barn this evening where the pens are, and was wondering where to move cultivators, a disk, and bushhog so I can add another big grow-out pen. I can't quit hatchin' these dedgum birds. But I'm mighty afraid the growing feed bill will have a very big impact on the shut-down date for hatching on this hill!

(And, of course the outcome of the battle-of-the-egos on Washington Hill may eventually play a role in this too as early as next Tuesday!!!!!)

They are sooooo cute!!! I know how it is...you have to just keep watching and before you know it, an hour has passed!

i was so scared the whole time constantly thinking "omg did i do it right, is everything perfect, are my eggs fertile

"

Believe me, every hatch is like that at times. Especially if power fails and such. But it is always a blessing to get chicks in the outcome.
