No speckled here, only light's. I'm not hatching next weekend ether. Were you talking to me or someone else? Lol sry for the confusion.

LOL I was talking to you but apparently reading too many threads at once and got them mixed up

Oh and the good luck for next weekend was for sgtmck1 and Fuffy hatching Friday and Saturday, I tried to say too many things at once without making too much sense

Wet here. Going for chick crumbs in a bit...Hopefully Mom will decide that is OK for her to eat!. Poor thing has had nothing but sunflower seeds for 3 weeks and a fe blueberries. At this point any food is better than no food.

How are you doing? Any news yet? I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.

Of course you realize I will be surprised by my babies, don't you, coz they are hiding under the broody. I may not even see the pipping

Doing good have to go back to work after the long weekend that sucks. Ran out with a flash light to check on my little chick I kicked out with the big chicks last night. She is doing ok but wants to come in.
I cant wait till mine start laying.

taken a few weeks ago but this is the one that got the boot.

Well, my broody wasn't due until June 4th, this Friday...however, I'm not complaining! I got blessed with one fuzzy butt yesterday evening and multiple pips this morning! Here is what I found last night

And what I found this morning

I am so excited and can't believe that she has hatched out so early but I'm already in

with them!

I HAVE MY FIRST PIP!!! This is my first time incubating, and it's a homemade incubator, I've got 3 thermometers in there and none of them agree, LOL, so I really wasn't sure if I'd have any make it to hatching, but things are looking good. I was lying in bed early this morning and kept thinking I heard peeping but there is a nest of baby robins (or something) right outside my window so I thought that was what I was hearing, LOL. I think today is day 20 for the pipped egg. I have another that's due June 2 or 3 (I had a sneaky hen that laid a couple of eggs in a nest that a broody hen was sitting on ping pong balls so I stuck them in the incubator when my bantam ameraucana eggs arrived) and the ameraucanas are due June 4 so putting them in lockdown tomorrow morning. Half of my ameraucana eggs are in the incubator and half are being taken care of by my broody hen. The 2 "early" eggs are bantam cochins. Mom is a white frizzle, dad is either a blue or partridge.

I guess I'll need to take the incubator into a steamy bathroom to set up for lockdown for the ameraucanas, so I don't shrinkwrap the 2 cochins...
