Peeper!!!! Yes!!!

[raymondjames]

Today while putting my Silver lakenvelders in Lockdown (it was supposed to be yesterday then someone told me the first day is day 0...) i heard one peep and it had a small crack around the pointy tip (the air sac). I think this might be from when it internally pipped, and I think it wiggled (it's in a new position now). How long until I can expect fuzzy butts if they peep on day 18. I heard day 18.5 is better, and that would have been at like 5 in the morning, so I did it at 7. I think these little buggers might be out by day 19 or 20 (tonight or tomorrow). SO EXCITED!!! anyone else got news to share?

Congratulations

The waiting is hard but once they start to pip it really gets hard

Then I find myself staring at them intently for hours

It can sure take awhile! I have a few silkie eggs due to hatch tomorrow that are starting to wiggle!

I did my lockdown last night and could see some of the eggs rocking around a little after laying them flat..That was pretty cool! This is my first hatch, and so far, so good!
