maybe posting this morning DID help...i hear peeping now!!!
oh and something else occurred to me (probably just wishful thinking but) this time I let the eggs roll to where they wanted to be before lockdown as opposed to how I usually insist they sit with the egg number facing up (so I can see). wondering if by letting them roll to where *they* wanted to be is cutting down on the rocking?! probably not, I'm probably just trying to make myself feel better.
Okay, don't leave me in suspense. I ran across your post, started at the beginning, read thru today's and . . . well?!
I feel like I got to the end of a really good book and someone tore the last few pages out! Did any hatch? I've got 8 shipped wheaten marans eggs under a broody right now (13 days to go) so am very interested in how yours hatch out.
thechickonthehill - I wish I could end the suspense for you (and me) but nothing as of yet! day 21 today (9/25) and no pips yet. I did hear peeping a bit earlier today but am still waiting on some real action!
