You are not helping Kathy LOL... Mahonri, where are you?

Oh Mahonri,,,,where are you???? I'm getting worried too.....Please be okay... I'm staring at my hatch to be every day about 20 times a day.....Talking, singing to them..... Relax breathe, I'm not getting in the humidity issue, I just know that I want you to have a happy Hatch......Keep up the faith..... Don't give up hope and faith....

I said a little prayer all day long over this hatch.....As I cleaned poop in the yard, as I did am chores and pm chores......As I said my prayers, I said quietly "Lord bless Mahonri......."

Dear Hubby overheard me and he proceeded to run to the house like a marathoner and brought me some orange juice as he knows I have blood sugar issues.....LOL

I said how will that help Mahonri,,,,,, He said drink up if you're hungry....I just said thank you dear

Soooo Mahonri,,,,,here's an OJ to you and happy hatching!

I have been waiting for your updates Cloverleaf farm . We have to be patient, it is not quite New Years is it?

I have 3 pips. I guess the high humidity on the first day of lockdown didn't kill them after all. I was so worried. 9 more to go!

4:30PM update:

So at 1:45PM a patient called and said he had a broken front tooth, that he was going to a party with hundreds of people tonight and would I please come to the office and fix his tooth.

I got back about 4PM but then I had to go out and feed, water and gather eggs. 18 eggs today (mostly blue) and there were still a couple of girls in nest boxes.

Now for the update:
HATCHED!- Pip #1... FBCM (Melissa/1588)at about 6:00AM... starting to zip 12:51PM... halfway zipped at 1:15PM, Hatched at 1:30PM . This one HAS to be a cockeral, "Pierre"

Only the right foot is deformed... with its toes curled... anything I can do for that? He's running around the bator like a crazy roo! so no changes

HATCHED!- Pip #2... FBCM (Melissa/1588) at about 6:30AM... zipping. First to hatch at Noon, just starting day 21. ... name changed to "Pierina"

FINALLY jumped out of the egg at about 4:15PM... had a big poop in the bottom of it!

Both are nice and fluffy and cuddling each other... But, Pierre is HUGE! Both have white fluff on their bellies.

Pip #3... BW X BW (coop#1/1588)at about 12:10PM... nice pip! We have a 25% chance of a splash with this one!

No change. pip has not gotten any larger, egg is not moving. I worry that maybe when the humidity when up with the others hatching it drowned????

Pip #4... BW X BW (coop#1/1588) at about 1:10PM... bigger pip than #3--- they are right next to each other and next to Pierina.

No change.. pip is still the same size.

Pip #5... GCM X Delaware (coop#2/Brinsea) at about 3:30PM... decent sized pip.

Pip #6... BW X BW (coop #1/1588) at about 4:45PM

Pip #7.. BW X W/WB (Jean 6/ 1588) at about 4:45PM

One BW X W in the Brinsea is rocking, but no pip yet

So far I have two French, Black Copper Marans and I believe that I have one of each, cockeral and a pullet.

40 left to pip! It could be a very long weekend.
