OMG! The wait is killing me!!

[cici_p]

How do you people do it???!!!
Just put my first eggs in the 'bator. . .you mean I have to wait 21 days until they hatch!!

Argh!
And I thought watching my empty bator the past two weeks was excrutiating!
I'm gonna be on this forum a *lot* in the next 21 days. . .

Me too! I am going to set my first eggs tomorrow!!

The first time is always the toughest. The next ones aren't as bad although it's never easy waiting.

I am like a broody hen with nothing better to do but turn her eggs. I want to be doing something *all the time*!
Sit on your hands. . .sit on your hands. . .sit on your hands. . .
Argh!

know how you feel... I've been bating my muscovy eggs for two weeks now... and still have 3 left... It's almost like being pregnant all over again.

I too hate the waiting game

After the first week you just kind of get in an egg turning rhythm and don't notice the days going by. Until about day 16 when you start stressing over day 18 when you have to stop turning them and raise humidity. Then there's day 18-21 where you think they've died the whole time and finally get relieved they've pipped on day 21 only to stress that they've died again cause they don't finish hatching for another day....
