One of my Mystery Eggs is moving!! OMG!!!

I am a terrible chicken hatcher. I candled my eggs every single day.

And I just took out my bator eggs (I know..I know). Real quick. And held them up to my ear. One is tap tap tapping away, and peeping!! (I peeped back at it). The other was quiet. I put them both back real quick.

The peeping egg is rolling around a little!!! It is so amazing and awesome, I can't even stand it. Maybe I'll have a little peeper when I wake up! :wee

What if it starts hatching before I go to work, and is in the incubator all day while I'm working? Will it be OK? I'll be gone for like 8.5 hours or so.

As long as you don't have a turner in there and on it will be fine.
With my Broody Queen (who's at it again) I checked them all the time. I went out the morning of hatch and the first egg I got out was pipped and I was so excited!!! So I snuck it back under and went to grab another. I pulled out a chick! All fluffed up and walking around. I couldn't believe I missed it. Then a second one came out from under her. LOL Little stinkers like to hatch when no ones lookin.

OMG that is so great!! Thanks you guys (Moly, Ron, everyone!)

I am very excited to see what comes out! If they are all black, have 4 toes or 5...silkie or AC or brahma or some mix. :) I will love them no matter what they are! I just hope there might be a lil Lafayette in one of them. :love

ETA: They both are moving now! DH actually caught the quiet one moving.

SO EXCITING. Like a tiny miracle. It never gets old!

Well that's why they aren't tilling the area. They cannot scratch through hardware cloth.

:woot Ruby!! :woot puppy!!
Yes do focus on schooling! It's very important.

I let them free range the garden during the day, only in the tractor after dark. The garden does have a fence. The top pullet flies up on top of the tractor and stands guard.
 
@pitbullmomma Can't belive you didn't come home with the entire bin of derps! I'm telling you, the more you have the more fun they are.....:caf:gigNah, seriously I spent over an hour today getting Beavis out of a hole all because she wouldn't back up and just kept spreading out like a cat going in a box. Like I said though, can't belive you didn't take them ALL!
