I know right? She's still just sitting there, doing the mom thing! Still no noises, yes I'm getting a little impatient- ok a lot impatient.....lol

I find myself walking up to the cage looking to see if she's still breathing or asking my niece to go check on buttcheak to see if she's still alive, she used to be so loud and obnoxious, now she's just a clump

I'm so sorry about your eggs, hopefully warmer weather will get here soon and you can try again

If the eggs incubated at base human body temp in the 98° range then the eggs would have been a bit cool and could be a few days later to hatch, but slightly cool and slower is better than high temps and may actually make her hatching all 3 plausible by closing the gap some. So don't panic if you have no chicks on day 21!

You are absolutely right...the closer we can get to hatching the other egg the better off we'll be. Thanks, good point.

Ahh, spring time. I'm waiting for your chicks to hatch, and most of our does are due to have their babies anytime! Ahhhhhh!
