It's day 18 for my eggs, so I will be candling them one last time today before lockdown tomorrow. Fingers crossed the 18 eggs will all be good to go!

oh... I can't wait to see the little chicks....
How does one manage to survive 3 weeks of waiting? One day has gone by...only one!! I am sure with more hatchings you get used to it. But at the moment...

Haha so fast and so long at the same time! It must be amazing when so many chicks are coming out at the same time

I used to be exactly like that! 21 days seemed like ages when you first start incubating. Bet you're always checking them too! Like watching grass grow...lol Anyway you'll be candling 76 eggs in 6 days!!!

I know right!? I guess I am in there checking them 3 or 4 times a day!
And no... there are 77 eggs. I got another egg in the afternoon and my husband said... go ahead, put it in too. So I did! I guess I'll be really busy, won't I?

Today I ended up breaking a freshly laid egg (not from the hatch)... I am so sad and upset with myself. Yes, it happens...it's not the first egg breaking in my life. But I guess seeing the chickens lay the eggs makes it more sad and upsetting.

They are really cute! One of the guys at my breeding club breeds them.

They are really pretty! Looks like they are all dressed up for a fancy ball! I am always amazed at how many chicken breeds are out there that I never knew existed.

I candled my eggs and ALL are going into LOCKDOWN!!!!
