It's not polite to stare!

Man, I really thought I was doing better with this hatch than my first. I haven't been obsessing (my husband would disagree, lol) I haven't called out of work to watch the temps, I haven't been singing to them.... Okay maybe a little. All in all, I've felt more accepting that it's going to happen the way it's going to happen. That was until lockdown. Now I'm like some crazy mama bear, shushing the children if they get too loud ( 4 preteens, yeah right) no jumping, no playing. I am constantly STARING at the incubator. My ear pressed against it, listening for the tiniest peeps. Ahhhh! I'm up all night checking temps & humidity. This is insane, lol.

I think that we have a lot of company!

My 11 year old son is more addicted than I am. He has sat by the bator all day telling me exactly who has pipped, who has peeped & who is shaking. It's too funny but I'm glad he is going to bed. Make room buddy, mama's turn to stare! Haha.

Obviously he needs his own incubator, chickens and fertile eggs, not to mention, his own coop!

Don't encourage him!

Nothing like an all absorsive hobby to keep him on the straight and narrow as he grows into that hard to handle age

How are those eggs coming along now?

We have for chicks in the brooder & 11 pipped! I love hatch day, lol. This kid is a chicken freak. He is all about mixing them for traits & egg coloring. He will be a mad scientist, he actually scored a 100% his science F-CAT last year.

Here are my chicks so far!
