I am on day sixteen of my first hatch. I have 15 eggs in the bator. What is so crazy is.......I am just so nervous about it....... I am an RN and worked 22 years in ICU, ER and or Recovery....life and death situation and now I am nervous over my bator of eggs. I so want a good hatch. I see all the cute little ones from dipsy though out the forum. I have tried my best to make sure all has gone well. I have read thread after thread.....I have candled and check the bator throughout the day. So Sunday is day 18 and the eggs go into the hatcher..... I dreamed I only had two to hatch, but what was funny is they were the most beautiful birds I had ever seen.......one even had rhinestones. I think I have enter the "chicken zone"..............
Ok, thanks, I feel better. I just hope I have some fluffies in the next 4-5 five days!!! I will be so happy. I can see where this could become addicting. What do you do with all your pretty birds.....sale them.....keep them......??
Ahhhh, the joys of hatching! I can tel you, it does NOT get easier. LOL I am on my 3rd hatch since November! I worry over these little eggs almost every hour! Oh, when you said you dreamed your chicken had rhinestones...I about spit my coffee everywhere! Too funy!! Thats some special chickie!!
heck. I am always nervous when I hatch. I am carful about touching the eggs as well. everytime I touch the bator I am scared that I moved an egg
Yep, Yep. My unprofessional diagnosis is that you have a severe case of chick fever. The only known cure for it as I understand it, is to HATCH SOME EGGS!!!!
