I'm So Excited!

I went ahead and posted in the emergency thread.

Congrats!! Isn't it just so eggciting?!

Update: Four in the brooder and one just climbing out of its shell. It seems to be OK. Leaving one more egg to hatch. So far, seven out of eight eggs have hatched!

Two have wryneck, daughter says. We're treating those with extra vitamins.

And . . . ta daaaaa . . . Egg Number 8 has a great big pip! And I really didn't expect very many to hatch at all. Talk about luck!

This morning, my chihuahua/terrier mix was snoozing on her couch when she suddenly jumped off and ran over to the incubator and reared up on it to see in. Yeh, she's on stilts!

I went over to tell her not to do that, and, well, you guessed it . . . Chicklet Number 7 was working her way out of her shell! And Gracie alerted! That dog's too smart for my own good.

I'm going to give her a chance to alert to this last one hatching too, just to see what she does. She insists on giving each one a sniff/kiss when I pick them up!
