Yes, it's sooo exciting! I think I've peeked into the 'bator at least 20 times since late last night to check and see if I'm a mommy yet!

Lol, I have my laptop right next to the 'bator - it has been that was for about 13 hours now.

That's fantastic! I did that the first time I hatched...I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one!

I deliberately set mine up in another room so I would NOT obsess over it, from the very beginning. In hindsight, perhaps I should have had it right here by the PC so I wouldn't have missed the chick who fell asleep in the water reservoir...

.... so YOU folks have it RIGHT!!!!

So, now the long wait for another pip!

Congrats! What breed of chicks did you hatch?

 

[peepswiththepoof]

Silkies...I have 19 more eggs that I'm waiting on. I hope they all make it!

And what breed are you hatching?
