You are not a "Idjit"---you probably got ALOT going on!!!I'm an idjit. I wasn't keeping up with the days and then thought I'd better see what day my bator full of CCL eggs are due to hatch, and realized they are due tomorrow and they weren't in lockdown!
I got the bator off the cradle real quick and added the wet sponges. Here's hoping.
Well my first attempt at hatching failed miserably. I lost them all due to a heating element failure in a brand new incubator half way thru embryo development. I thought I had fixed the problem and had reordered more eggs for a second try. But it stopped warming again on the delivery day of my eggs. I really wanted my gold legbars eggs to hatch for the New Year Hatchalong. After seeing how depressed I was, later that day my husband appeared in the doorway with a brand new incubator. "Merry Christmas" he told me. I like his style. So now I'm thrilled to try again just in time. After stressing so much over the first batch I hope the second time around gets a little easier.
LOL...how are your eggs doing???? Haven't been on in a while. I was reading on another thread about your hoping one of your girls would go broody, but didn't happenMy girl will "debate" about going broody sometimes for a 2-3 weeks before she actually sits....she currently has been "debating" for about 2 weeks now...LOL! She gets all clucky and puffs up while shes walking around, but then goes back to normal chicken behavior....crazy girls!!
Good hubby! I wish mine would do that! lol
I got two chicks yesterday, looks like it might be one girl and one boy (that's to have a flock for my one girl that hatched three weeks ago). Two more eggs are looking good to hatch in the next few days and two more look like they might hatch by the end of next week, and then I have two more that have only been in for a week. I hope they don't take four-five weeks to hatch like some of these other chicks.
Yeah, she didn't set for me. Yup, they're crazy girls!
