Tee-hee, yeah, we're at work for a pretty large chunk of the day (gods I'm going to have to get up early this winter for the feather butts), and the *very* first thing I do after I'm dressed in the mornings, and after I let the dog out in the afternoons is check on the eggs... Thankfully my husband is slightly more mellow but just as excited as I am so he's not mocking me too much.. lol Our daughter is exceedingly amused though (she doesn't *quite* get that the eggs will be chickens, she knows we have eggs in a box and will have chickens but the connection isn't clear to her yet)..
I have to admit to being a VERY bad chicken mommy last night and candling one of the lighter eggs, but... It's only just day 3, and I knew it was pretty unlikely that anything would show yet to my inexperienced eye.. So yeah.. I did one egg.. Didn't see anything. I don't know if it's because it happened to be an infertile egg, or if I just didn't see what I was supposed to or what.. I have to admit to being tempted to check another tonight, but.. It will be a long delay between candling any one egg.
Gah I feel like such a moron. *laughs* I have no idea what I'm doing and am trying to be patient and not try to rush things etc, but.. It's hard!!!!
