More news on the incubation front.

I am happy to report that the 4 Cornish eggs I set last week are fertile with wiggly little babies! :celebrate

I didn't change anything in their environment or diet. I wonder if the Cockerel just figured out what he is doing, it is the right time of year, or if it is the new incubator. I've heard Cornish eggs are finicky. I wonder if the temps going all over the place and the humidity going too high had anything to do with it.

And 18-19 of the 28 Chocolate Orpington eggs I set are fertile and growing as well. Some of the CO eggs were infertile, but there were 2-3 eggs with a blood ring. When I move everything into the Brinsea so I can hatch my 5 mixed flock eggs, I'll have JUST enough room for them all, plus the Cornish Eggs I set this week.
 
I'm so happy. :)

She keeps coming up to the side of the bator, peeping and looking at me like she knows I am her mommy. I want to hold her so bad!

I know it sounds silly, but this hatching adventure totally helped get me out of my depression, gave me something to look forward to, and gave me a reason to get out of bed and get excited about stuff again.

Thank you WVDC for sending me those eggs; and to all my wonderful BYC friends for being there, and cheering me on, and just for being you. I love you guys and am very thankful for my crazy chicken friends!:love :hugs :love

XO,

Cindi

The first chick I hatched in the bator did that. However, as soon as the next chick hatched, that stopped. I think she was lonely.

You won't have to wait that long dear.

Thank you my friend! :)

No, that was just the broken eggshell. I think. But there is another pip in there somewhere...Suzi was tromping around like Godzilla with those giant pink feet, so they got a little rolled around. And now I can't see where the other pipped one is.
 
I kinda knew it would, congratulations on your first home baked fuzz butt she's absolutely adorable. :)

My second broody serama "Cream" got up to get a drink when I changed her water, so I checked her 3 eggs. They are still going fine, they are due Friday or Saturday.
Now I have yet a 3rd broody serama "Carrie". She hatched a brood last year, so I gave her 6 eggs out of the incubator, already on day 7.
