On day 3 of trying to hatch an egg in my boobs

[PrincessKiara]

It's possible,...but not advisable haha.

Last night I forgot the egg was there and barely managed to catch myself before letting my fiance clap his arm down right over it. Scary stuff I tell you!

Not sure if it can be done from day 1... But as a teenager I hatched a Canadian Goose egg in my bra. Friends brought it to me. Said they'd found it just laying on the ground. It was already well on it's way in development it seemed. So I said why not? Into the cleavage it went. Had to get a bigger bra for that sucker.

The "day 3" is definitely what I'm seeing, albeit a tad bit smaller! I'm so excited!

Very cool!

You haven’t rolled over on it yet? How did you sleep?

On my back...and very carefully lol!

I'm a light sleeper, even more so since having boobegg in there lol.

Boobegg

If boobegg hatches, you have to give baby a boob related name.

Boobegg

If boobegg hatches, you have to give baby a boob related name.

My chickens have numbers rather than names but I could think of lots of names in that category. That's just how I roll.

ETA I could elaborate.

Reading about lockdown and not touching while they hatch, I'm getting kinda nervous lol. How am I supposed to not touch an egg that's hatching between my boobs!?

Patience, Kiara, patience! You don't even know if it's going to live long enough to hatch at all! Lol

You will do that with your makeshift incubator with elevated humidity.
Or you could just let the chips (eggshells) fall where they may.

Hello all!
So I'm very new to chickens. I recently bought two adult Silkie hens, and impulsively stuck their egg in my bra Friday night (they were housed with a rooster up until I bought them around a week ago). It's currently in a sock inside my sports bra, under/between my boobs. I'm just scared my melons will crush it, those things are heavy haha!

Anyway, how soon can I tell if anything is developing? It's been 2 days, today will be the 3rd. I've slept with it in my bra, just have to sleep on my back lol.

So uh. Any tips? Anyone done it before?

I have a few other eggs I'd like to hatch, but for those I will be building a homemade incubator. There's only so much room under my melons, after all!

I have a 40-watt incandescent bulb, now just trying to figure out whether to use a Styrofoam box, shallow plastic box or a cardboard box for the body of the incubator. I live in the Caribbean so it's pretty hot and humid here.
