Lockdown starts today! Who's gonna hatch with me? UPDATE PICS!

[chickenmeadow]

Day 20 & I'm cool as a cucumber! Not worried, stressed, anxious, concerned, having up & down thoughts racing through my head, obsessing, etc....... There's no peeping, pipping, egg rocking, zipping....... just the calm before the storm. It's quiet, too quiet. Temps & humidity have been stable, so no drama. Oh, did I say I'm not worried.......

Well, time to get off to work, so I can not worry there!

Congrats to all you "hatchers & pippers"! So fun hearing the details & seeing the occasional pictures.

Day 20 here .... I hear nothing, I see no pips. I have to go to work 3 PM - 11 PM shift .... Maybe when I get home tonight I will see pips, or hear chirping.

Good luck to you all!

When did you crawl into my head and steal my thoughts???!!! And you too Kathy! But.....I do have a pip YES I DO one lil' pip but now I know more are coming.
I am wishing you all good hatching thoughts!

I can't stay and watch either, ahhhhh I have to go out and be the work errand girl. When I get back, I am expecting pips from you two.
(Maybe that will scare the little chickies into showing their fuzzy little butts)

We are only on day 19 officially, but every time I walk in the kitchen, someone has a flashlight checking for peeps or pips or anything. It is hard to believe that it can be so quiet and peaceful and in 24 hours, it can get crazy

I have 2 out and 1 that should be out any minute. That leaves 12 left to hatch that have pipped and 3 that haven't done anything. 2 of those 3 I was unsure of so I don't really expect them to hatch anyway, but 1 that was moving when I put them into lockdown hasn't done anything. Oh well, it's still early yet so I am not that worried about it. The rest seem to be coming along nicely. Once they dry off and I move them to the brooder I will post some pics.
