Patience is hard.

Day 17 tonight. I've read several things about bantam eggs usually hatching day 18/19...

EXTERNAL PIPS!! They're peeping to each other! No zipping yet.

Our Cozy Coop heater is having wiring faults and getting WAY too hot- it lightly toasted my fingers when I felt it. Either going to TSC for one or making a MHP. Let me know if y'all have non-heat lamp ideas.

This is Margot (or Waylon if it's a boy)

And Macklemore

Here is the setup! I made my own Mama Heating Pad with an aluminum sheet from Home Depot, a heating pad from Target, an old bath towel, and some safety pins. I'm going to add cardboard on top soon.

Margot is getting the job done!

Welcome to the world, Margot!

Macklemore is still zipping, but Margot is active and peeping! Leaving her in until I get back from church this morning. You can already see Margot's cheek boofs, @EmmaRainboe @chickentrains
