That sucks about the bator but at least you may have 2 babies

Yeah it does, but for eggs bought from a farmers market with questionable fertility that were 10 days old when set, I think 2 is pretty good! If they don't hatch I'm gonna get some day old chicks from the feed store to but under my broodies. And now I get to buy some different eggs to put in the bator!

Aw that sucks, better luck next time. I did a quick check on mine (just.poked them with the flashlight without taking any eggs out) and saw lots of movement in there. I'm so excited.

I'm going out of town for a couple days to visit family. Hopefully nothing crazy happens while I'm gone. I think I might even change the bulb before I go. Just in case.

Eleven days to go~!!

I certainly understand. I don't feel like all of the reading I've done has done me a bit of good. lol. Only made me more nervous about keeping an eye on my incubators.

Seriously! I will have a hard time not wanting to help them when I see them all pooped out from trying so hard. I know that I'm not supposed to help so, I'll have to do something else. I won't be able to watch.

X2!! I will be freaking out when they start to hatch. I wouldn't be able to do anything else but sit and watch and worry. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will hatch while I'm at work or asleep. How great would it be to come home or wake up to 7 fuzzies all waiting for attention!

I prob won't be that lucky, but I can hope.

 

[ChickSter99]

I say I won't be able to look. Curiosity will probably get me. I'll have to wait and see. I won't be able to sleep bc I'll have 2 kids on my heels waiting just as impatiently as I will be. lol

 

[TheChicknGarden]

Lol yeah i hope i can sleep..or will be sleeping... Since i know there are little ones growing i am constantly checking the temps all day and all night... Its as if im pregnant again awaiting labor lol...the nesting stages have already started for me feel like i have a newborn that i constantly have to check in on...
