Another pip! Chick is all dry and in the brooder. S/he was tearing open another egg. But I'm hearing more peeps so hopefully the others will go as quick as the 2nd pip/er.

So far

1st pip @ 4:44 still in the egg and no progress.
2nd pip @ 7 something (have to go back and look at the post) hatched @ 1:33am so s/he is a new years eve baby:)
3rd pip @ 2:34am still no prgress


1 hatched and 7 to go!

I'm just south of you and I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight either...Waiting for the chick to dry and it's my turn to sit with my father in law who is doing home hospice...He had a bad day so one of us is staying up at all times to monitor him...So I'm spending my night making sure a new born silkie and an old man stay alive...

I hope to post a pic or two soon...
 
At least he has you to take care of him. Keep your head up, I'm sure your dad appreciates you!

Just curious, what makes you so interested in silkies? I would love to have them! I plan on getting my daughter one of easter.

Who knows!
