New BYC Incubation Term.. IBW (PIPS! A CHICK!)

[LoneCowboy]

You see, the blue orps know that you want them to pip, so they purposely take their own sweet time. The word gets around you know

GO LITTLE CHICKEES!!!

DH thinks I'm PSYCHO because I'm watching all the hatches...Waiting to put mine in the bator is killing me, so I'm getting my fix with yours!!

 

[speckledhen]

We're all psycho, but anyone who doesn't get a thrill out of watching a chick hatch, well, I'm not sure that's someone I could really be friends with, you know? Gotta be missing something in your character if this doesn't thrill you when you see it.

He'll get into it when I'M hatching, just thinks I'm weird (I've been online ordering eggs and such and talking chicken for DAYS now!!!) He likes the chicks, even has a few of his own follower chickens!!

 

[speckledhen]

He'll get into it, I'm sure. I wasn't talking about him, just people in general. My own DH always says they are my chickens, but you let him lay in the hammock and he'll have two laying on his chest and the rest laying underneath him on the ground. He's a softie and does like them alot.

FINALLY! One of the two Blue Orps has pipped. They're both Skye's eggs. Dare I hope for another splash? Nah, that's too much to hope for. A pullet of any color would be nice.
