Me too!!!! lolAwesome!! I get a workout during hatch time from moving from one chair to the other, to look in the window on the other side of the bator, and then pacing the floor. Maybe I should add some jumping jacks!
Keep us posted
You should come to SC. There is a KFC across the street from every Cracker Barrel, right beside BoJangles
lol Never been to Cracker Barrel or BoJangles either...lol Our KFC is about 45 minutes away.
Well it can take a good 24 hours. Generally with mine I'd say between 12-18 hours if you averaged it out.
I am usually 10-14 hours from first pip to first hatch. You get so excited when you see the pip, then nothing for hours on end. It's hard to watch, and it seems like there is something wrong, but that's just how it goes: a little work and a lot of rest. Once they start zipping, they will pick up steam
Yup. You hear so many horror stories about chicks pipping and not hatching that it makes us too quick to jump in and help. Even I (knowing that it takes lots of time) am guilty of that from time to time. We don't give nature the credit it deserves sometimes and we like to "play God"- with good intentions of course. (At least mine are.) It takes a long time for them to do what they need to do to be ready and we rush that too much.
