Hummer announces - They arrived alive!!!!!

They're all adorable!!!

And I know what you mean staying up all night.
I did that for the first week. I camped out in the bed room next to the bathroom they were in and every two hours I would wake up to go check on them.

But they were too cute to ignore!

So I am normal????

Well...at least here among my BYC friends anyway

My friends and family think I am NUTS!

Adorable chicks btw!

They are so cute! Very happy for you and glad it went much better this time around.

And juliect, yes you are normal! At least by BYC standards! When we got ours this past spring I did the same thing the first night and checked on them every couple of hours. I loved just sitting and watching them sleep just like I did with my kids! DH thinks I'm crazy though!

Thanks for all the encouragement and info. I DO feel like a new Mom! And I enjoy watching them sleep, too! lol

I do have one chick that is not doing very well. I am not sure what the problem is. I was hoping that I would not lose any.... I posted my concerns under another topic and have received good advice and feel that I am doing all that I can for it, but its not looking good for this one.

Congratulations!!! Great pics. If you loose one it is probably not to be. I lost a chick before and it wasn't easy. It's amazing on how fast we bond to them and how hard it is to loose even one Let alone several. I'm sure you sre doing your best. Good luck.
