I'm jealous, I have to play Mama hen. Love a broody hen!

So many broodies here! I keep two broody breakers going and have a waiting list to get in too, lol.

I'm with you! I have 27 jersey giant eggs in lockdown in one incubator and 2 guinea eggs that started lock down yesterday and 1 has pipped. I keep playing guinea keet videos to it. I also have another 14 guinea eggs each under 2broody hens with 36 more eggs waiting for either a hen or an incubator. Oh and 1 that hatched last Sunday with its 8 friends bought from Atwoods to keep it company.
My, oh my, do I sound nuts. I'm ready for more to hatch for sure!

I just set a batch on Sunday. Today is day 4 1/2. just candled them for the first time today. I started with 15 silkie/sizzle eggs from one breeder and 6 show quality silkies from another. Only seeing life in 3 of the 15 (they were pretty wonky looking eggs/oblong); but the 6 show quality eggs are ALL looking amazing! Good luck with everyone’s hatches!!!! I also have one lonely egg (the rest of her batch quit). She is due next week. Hoping to introduce her to my other 5 silkie/showgirl chicks I hatched last weekend. It will be about a 9 day difference. Here are my 5 babies that hatched on Saturday.

One lone guinea hatched about an hour ago. I'm pretty sure the other egg is dead but I imagined I saw super light movement so I guess I'll leave it for a bit.

I had anxiety and chest pains last night worrying about missing the phone call from the post office. It's much easier to hatch them than it is to order them in my opinion.

Absolutely! Lol. Out of 4 different orders this year, that all said hold/ call; never happened. Not once.
