Also, the neighbor that I got my eggs from has given me his 2 chicks his hen hatched. He has no more room!
I am up to four babies, but I only hatched 2!

You are well into the chicken addiction, now! And with a FLOCK, even! What a great little coop you got for your babies!
Isn't hatching so terribly THRILLING!?!?!?!
Yep, and I find, it doesnt get any less thrilling the more you hatch!!!
Congrats on MORE babies!! (Im about out of rm too, yet Im still hatching=-)

The eggs I got had been removed from the nest and put in an egg carton and set outside the coop for about an hour. It was about 55 degrees outside, I was out playing ball around 9pm with my labs and the neighbor came out and wanted to show me his 2 chicks the hen hatched. I asked about the carton and was told they were all dead because the hen had taken the babies out of the nest around 2pm and hadn't sat on the eggs since. I asked if I could take them and took them home and quickly went to work warming them up. I have had them for about 2 weeks and 3 put of 7 have hatched. I am not ready to give up! I have 2 eggs wiggling and 2 that are doing nothing. None of them stink yet so I am going to keep trying till they do or atleast count 21-24ish days from the date I took them. I call my newest arrival my miracle baby because of the way I incubated it and it lived! I kept it going for 2 weeks with a heat lamp, humidity (from the shower) with no way to measure humidity and a spray bottle! I am on cloud nine even if the other 4 don't make it!

I giggle at the shower thing too! But only because it worked! If it didn't work I'd be kicking myself!!
