Lol, I was holding him earlier reading this thread and it looked like he was looking at the computer.. Maybe he was seeing what his "fans" were saying about him???? I'll have to get a picture of that next
that sounds fun, almost like christmas smile How often do you candle your eggs? Is it bad to do it more often?? After I saw the little swimming ones last night, I'm fighting to keep checking on them. I really want to look again tonight, but my husband says I should leave them alone. Can you hurt them by candling them everyday?
I personally think its ok to candle, my thinking is its just like the momma hen getting off the nest to eat, drink, poop and stretch her legs. I keep candling one of my bantam eggs, its just so cool to look at. I love showing my kids... Dd15 was looking at it with me Sat. night and she said Look mom its doing sit ups, lol. I think its ok until you have to go on lockdown (day 18? I have it wrote down in the other room). This is my 1st time incubating eggs (my 1st bator too), I got my 1st chickens last spring and have learned so much. I've had 2 BO hens go broody last fall and I let them both hatch out chickies. 2 made it from a Sept. hatch and 3 from a Nov. hatch.

* I think I'm going to go candle some right now
just to see whats going on!
Great, you'll have to let me know how they are doing. I'm going to check mine again later tonight.
Hope you didn't mind. I made this flag for, "The Official BOB Club of TN". I'm president of it. If anyone in TN is interested in joining just PM me. lol maybe not.
That's funny. I was teasing my husband saying we should make I "heart" BOB t-shirts with a pic. And if "he" turns out to be a hen we would change her name to Bobbi
