Isn't that the most wonderful thing EVER??? Life from things we would normally just crack into a pan and cook....

Life almost created in your living room (or in my case, the guest bedroom). Obviously, the chickens created 'em, but to bring them to hatching and they do it and survive, it's SO awesome. Just fills the heart!!

Congrats!!!

Yes, it is a miracle!!!

I still have 2 chicks that are now in the temperary nursery. I noticed 2 eggs that have been pecked so that means 2 more will be out soon

How amazing that life can develop in a container on a bedroom dresser. Life can be so incredible sometimes.

I have chickens in my house!!! I do actually have a chicken in my kitchen....

She has been sick. Not to worry the chicks are in a separate bedroom

Meanwhile, the dogs are in every other room

Good Luck with your hatch
Today is day 21 for us, we had 2 hatch out last night (end of day 20)
and right now 3 or 4 pipped and 1 zipped. Hopefully we will wake up to an incubator full tomorrow morning.

We have 7 that has hatched!

I had to help one out of its shell. Not only was it a tough shell but also a breech baby!

All is well

More to come........

Just locked down my last four eggs this am after finally hearing one cheep. This is second batch to hatch and learned the importance of telling son to write down the date going into bator. Had temp spike a few days ago and feared 2 dead but now those two are in the air pocket. So far no pips. Been 10 hrs now. Hopefully in the am will find four beautiful chicks. Good luck
to you and hopefully mine will hurry it up.
