[hollymh]

Ladies and gents, I have some good news...


I have 1 rocking egg!!! Please send vibes and prayers my way so I can have at least one baby!!! I will be happy with one after the way things went this incubation

so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send vibes my way for one (hopefully all 3) little egg to hatch!!!

 

[allaboutdemchicks]

Oh, Honey, we all do this!!! It takes several hatches (failed or not) to learn your incubator, and to learn about the whole incubation process. This is your first.... and they are going to get easier each time.

Makes you appricate a good broody hen too!!

You still have those eggs!!
