July Hatch-a-Long

[Georgina Fritznoodle]

Here's a picture of the first little guy to hatch next to his sibling who hatched almost 2 weeks ago. They grow so fast!

I'm very glad my cats don't really notice my incubators until the eggs hatch! They get a bit obsessed with watching the chicks though!

AHHH You too have a siameser!

That's it! I can't take the idea of my chicks hatching without me! The incubator is going in the bedroom tonight! I don't care if my husband thinks I'm nuts! It's the night of the 19th day/morning of the 20th! They could pip or even hatch! And I would miss it! And then something bad could happen! What if one needs me! Or the cat figured out how to open the incubator! These are important questions to which I have no answer! The OLNY RATIONAL solution is to sleep next to the incubator! YES! RATIONAL!

Yeah my hubby evicted my bator from the bed room when it got hot out.... I found it a new home in the laundry room where no one cares that it's 85 degrees, besides that's where the brooder is so all is well... lol

Yours is lovely! I've ended up with 3 (plus 2 moggies...), they're nearly as addictive as chickens!

So true. I have found there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Siamese people and not Siamese people. Personally I am a Siamese person. I have one pure bred Siamese, one Bengal from a Siamese/ ALC line and one rescued Manx kitten. Then there is the Puppy Freya and of course all the chooks! At least I don't have the snake anymore...

Oh! I forgot I wanted to share the egg Journal I made in Excel. I am sure I will improve on it more but figured some of you might like the idea for your own hatch documentation.

Awww! Congratulations! they are beautiful! I don't have a pond and I KNOW I don't have what it takes to do the swimming pool thing so I will never have duckies but I love seeing other people's quackers. I don't know anything about ducks but that yellow one looks amazing to me!

Thanks, the yellow one will end up being a silver like it's mom.

They're so sweet!

You're making me want to pop some of my runner duck eggs in the incubator...

I live to corrupt ;-)

6 ducklings out & the other duck is still sitting on a few, I candles and there is still movement so I'm letting her continue for now.
