Well, I HAD 6 beautiful babies... dumb dumb dumb... I took them to my mom's for Christmas Eve. All was GREAT... then we were driving home... babies were fine... my little old lady small dog... Ferrabi... blind - deaf - can't smell anything... heard them peeping and ... OMG... my heart aches to even type this... jumped into the storage bin I use for my brooder! I freaked, pulled over, my husband grabbed her out of the brooder, but it was too late. She had stood on 2 of my precious little babies. I know she didn't mean too... but I feel so stupid... soooooooooooo my fault... I have to bury my sweet little babies that I was just holding and cuddling an hour before.

When I got home, I had one more in the incubator hatch... so now I have 5. I'm so sad about the 2... so sad. Not much of a merry Christmas right now.

I still have 4 eggs in the bator, but I don't think they will hatch. There's no movement in the bator, no peeping, no nothing. Perhaps in the morning I will be pleasantly surprised.

Rest in Peace sweet little babies...

Guess I'm not the only crazy one. I had 2 silkies and 2 easter eggers hatch yesterday, the 24th. Three more EE today so far. It's been a really great Christmas. 18 chicks in the last week. Merry Christmas to all.

My silkie eggs started hatching last night, X Mas Eve and on into today Christmas day so far I have;

1 Showgirl chick from my flock

5 Blue silkies and one Blue is zipping

3 Splash

So that's 10 chicks and 6 more eggs left to hatch today.

...Could be a 100% hatch but then again...

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Update later, happy hatching!
