GO BABIES!

Thanks
I'm a little nervous.. The humidity went down to 35% - maybe- for a few hours. I check the bator every 3 hours at night. So I hope that didn't shrink wrap any :-/

Day 11. By this stage the developing bird is very obviously a chick. You'll also be able to see the tiny egg tooth' (used to chip through the shell at hatching time) developing on the beak. Only ten days to go!!!

Good luck! Day 17 rolling into day 18 for me. a few days ago I mentioned that I set aside eggs for the next hatch but I might wait to join any hatch-a-longs for awhile. Usually we have some major storm or hurricane in August/Sept. last year our power was out for 2 days. & year before that, no power for 3 days. Not sure if I should risk it

So it's NOT just me!! I seen a wiggling egg right before I went to bed last night ... I got about an hour and a half of sleep total.
Y'all ... I don't know how people do this all the time! It's like waiting for a human baby to be born!
I knew when we decided to raise chickens that it wasn't going to be the easiest thing, but GOOD LORD! I'm exhausted! Won't go to bed though because I might miss something!

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!

And y'all need some pictures ...


That's Ava (hoping it's a SHE!!!), born 7/4. She was a shrink-wrapped, assisted hatch.

You can still see some shell attached, didn't want to rush her. We both stopped here for a rest (and one of us needed a nerve pill).

All the way out and fluffed up

Someone's spoiled already. And so is the chicken

And she gives kisses. (Love those 5 toed silkies!!!)

ok, I'll spare y'all anymore cuteness ... unless you want to meet Sam, the chick-sitting Chihuahua.
In that case...
