I am a big mess. Surgery much bigger than expected. Still in hospital.

Mary, I'm sorry the surgery is more than you thought. I've been thinking of you and I hope you get better soon.


And don't laugh, cuz it will hurt your incision, BUT surfing BYC while in the hospital? That's addiction for ya!

All my best to you, Mary!

One is totally hatched! I am at work, and missed it, of course. It appears to be totally black, my eyes at home says. The others are progressing. I will go home in a couple hours to see for myself!

1 more hour and I will head home for a check! Blue? Ahhh, nice!

# 2 is apparently zipping now. Ooooohhhh, I can hardly wait to get home to see!

I am back from home now .... One dark one totally out. It appears there are 3 light colored ones and another dark one zipping, I think! The 6th egg I see no action, at this point. The one that is out has moved one egg from the front, all the way to the back of the bator, while playing soccer in there!

I hated to leave, and return to work! They may all be out by the time I get home tonight!

22 hours ago I reported my first pip. I now have 2 dark colored chicks totally hatched, and I can see 3 light colored ones. 2 of the light colored ones are working on hatching, but the third one I fear has pipped and quit. I can see it is light colored, but it has not been chirping or moving. It is the egg that was the first to pip. The 6th egg has done nothing as of yet. The four are all very vocal, and I am lovin' it!
