It's Friday, the 13th... and setting eggs

[aoxa]

Oh it's taking so long!!! I want to see a baby! They are peeping occasionally, but still no zipping. Is it 21 days after the hour you set it? If I set them at 8 pm 3 weeks ago (Friday the 13th @ 8pm) is it still a bit early? Is after 8pm tonight technically day 21? I just don't want them to be late.

Good question....I have no zipping. I can see movement in one of the pipped eggs (the other egg isn't wiggling at all) and it looks like the baby's trying to peck or something at the hole.

I can hear faint chirps and what sounds like pecking or scratching or something.

Good luck to all!

Came home from a really long day at work to a GOOD thing yahooooo. 2 buff and 4 silver laced chicks hatched. My baters getting crowded. There are at least 6 more eggs pipped. Should I worry about the chicks moving the eggs all around? So happy after my 1st attempt and only got 1 chick out of 24. But I did start with fertized eggs this time. Awssome hatch rate on my shipped eggs so far. Happy Friday!!!!

Good hatching everyone

Another buff hatched yeaaah.

I think I got the bug, I may need intervention. Looking at some dark brahma hatchin eggs

i set mine around this time on the 13th. So I guess I am starting on day 21. I never remember how it goes. But anyways, I came home an hr ago to 1 pip, just looked and now I have 3 pips.

Come on little babies!!! And yes, I am the cheering section for my chicks. So what if I am crazy?!?!? LOL

I had 2 babies when I woke this morning. Later this afternoon this little one literally rolled out of it's shell as I lifted mama's feathers.





There are 5 total out. She has 2 eggs left under her, curious to see if they will hatch too...
