Thanks Kim, I knew I liked that girl! I hope her egg starts something soon!

Wow Lisa, you must have nerves of steel!

This is my fifth hatch, and it's like my legs have a mind of their own. Before I know it, I'm walking towards the bator!

I just can't help myself, plus, it's good exercise! Yeh, that's it, good excercise!!

Good morning! Yes, one more is almost out, seems she is taking a rest.

Looks like a possible new pip. Two eggs got pushed together, and another had hatched near them, so it may just be a tiny piece of shell that got in between the two. I'm going with the glass half full, and call it a tentative pip!

I can't believe it.....I found a photo of Chloe's mother. I thought I had lost those photo's when my computer crashed the last time. Too Cool! Trying to upload it now to share. If I remember correctly I've tried to load it before but it takes too long because of the photo size, so I usually ended just giving up. I'm trying something different this time so maybe it will load. What's really cool is this bird will be 3 years old in April and I have never shown an adult photo of her. She was sold to a woman last year who just loves her and her eggs. She is living the good life out on a farm. She had clean shanks, that was the only reason I let her go.

How cool!! Hope it gets to load for us!

Bill's egg is still going at it. That was a FAT egg, no wonder she pipped at the small end! Less geography to deal with!

Now that the second chick has dried off, it looks like it was a street sweeper egg! Nice feathering on those little sticks!

That would have been one of the rosy purplish hue'd ones with some speckling going on huh? I LOVE HER EGGS!!!!!! The one she gave me yesterday had the nicest red tone to it with that purplish translucent tinge on it.

Ooooo! She was a pretty girl! I think I would've held on to her myself

Nope, looks like he came out of a ruby colored egg, no speckles. Hard to tell with the lighting if that was the bloomy one, but I don't think so. One more about to hatch, beating the bill egg. If Bill's egg doesn't hatch by 10:30, I'm going in after it. The other two should be hatched by then.
