I started w/ 15 of my own eggs. When I put them into lockdown 2 were rotten, down to 13. Well two days before my 1st batch was due the electricity went off for two hours, I had to bring my eggs in by the fire. When hatch day finally came....nothing hatched...they were suppost to hatch Tuesday..they didn't hatch until Thursday Morning, early. Around 1:00 Thursday Morning I had just finished saying my prayers and I asked God to let the baby buttons hatch and then I checked on the incubater before I went to bed....a button had hatched!
I was thrilled and when I woke up the next morning..here is what I found...
Incubator -
Empty Brooder ...
Cookie Cooler Heat Lamp Holder!
Red Breasted Egg Pipped ( hard to see )
10 eggs before they hatched:
1st chick around 1:00 Early ThursdayMorning -
Morning Surprise!
Brooder has something in it! Yeah!
Buddy ( 'Bud & Lou's father )
Bella ( 'Bud & Lou's Mother )
Gypsy - My dog
This was taken at 2:00 - 1:00 - this is how she sleeps!

Button Chicks - I need help on a few of their colors.
#1 Lou
#2 'Bud
#3 Sunny
#4 Freddy
#5 Sleepy
#6 Cricket ( S/he has curled toes )
The three eggs on the right are due to hatch today. The other two never did hatch, I think they died.
Sorry for all the pictures -
'Peeps always ask for pictures - so I figure somebody has to over-do it at least once!
