OMG OMG OMG!!! I hadn't posted before, as this was my first time with trying to hatch eggs using a broody (I'm actually new to chickens- just got my first ones this past April)...So, long story short- my Silkie/Polish mix, Beaker, is approx 8 months old, and was laying but decided to go broody and sit on everyone's infertile eggs...I would take them daily, and she was NOT happy...I decided to order some off here, and won an auction for 6 olive egger eggs, and 2 BCM eggs...the nice lady in TX gave me an extra BCM egg, and also threw in a EE/NN egg (I am NOT fond of NN, but put the egg under her just to see what would happen...)....Well, yesterday was Day 21, and nothing happened...So today, all morning, I'm back and forth to the nextbox...I THINK at one point I hear faint peeping, but am not sure...just went back out to check, and moved Beaker off the nest (she was NOT happy, but since she's a silkie, she doesn't put up a fight...LOVE HER!!!)...well, as I'm trying to candle the eggs (no clue what i'm looking at, but I'm looking for movement at the least)...well, I pick up the EE/NN egg, and the darn thing started peeping at me right about the time I noticed the little guy inside has started to break the shell and work his way out!!! OMG OMG OMG I'm excited!!! Even though this is the ONE darn EGG that I didn't care if it hatched or not, I'm kinda changing my mind, and can't wait to see the little guy! I will post pics of whatever hatches!!! Cross your fingers that whatever ones are alive hatch out without any problems!!!
