Pretty sad that I am...maybe a problem with legs on one???

OK I was gone all day yesterday and NOTHING!!! What is up with this???? So last night I had a terrible dream where they all hatched but were smaller than a quarter, also one of them had two heads and one giant central eye So I was checking them all night and still nothing. Well, I checked again this morning and I saw nothing but I heard a CHEEP!!!!!!!! That means it's soon right???? I went ahead and took my plugs out, is that ok???? I just didn't want one of them to pip and I not see it and they run out of air. Is that right or wrong???? Anyhow, you know I'll be keeping you posted. I just can't even see straight! WE will probably NOT do any school today

Sounds like you're on the way....I had four hatch on day 22, so be patient. I'm starting on another batch this morning too.

Did you ask me to be patient???? I have prayed my whole life for patience but recently stopped as I realized that God keeps sending me the opportunities to be patient. I don't need any more opportunities to be patient, I'm going to start praying to be able to finish all of my work

I really am trying to be patient but it doesn't come naturally to me. I can't wait to post the pics of my new pretty babies. And I can't wait to see what color my silkies are?!?!?!?!?? Also, I can't wait to be able to candle the other silkies, from Dipsy, to see how many of those are growing well!!

Dear Karri, we must be soul sisters! Patience??? Not Worry??? I am also obsessed with these eggs (yours and mine)!!! I am in the same place as you, day 20 and nothing. My eyes are burning, stomach churning. I was on a job interview yesterday and told them I could not start until Monday because I have eggs that are due to hatch on Friday! My wishes are for your babies to arrive healthy, plump and fuzzy. Keep the posts coming, its a comfort to find common experiences. Good Luck and have your camera ready I know we all want to see your new babies!

Leecey, I just love that you put off work for the babies!!!!! WE must be sisters!!!!
I can't wait to post pictures I am hoping that they hatch and that they hatch larger than the ones in my dreams last night! THose babies were so sad looking:-(

P.s. I just checked on them and someone is just peeping away!!!

 

[karri25]

WE have one pip, one roller, and some more chirping I wonder how long it's going to take for them to come out????? I will post pics as soon as I have some!!!!!

Karri25, I suspect that in six months, you'll be driving us all crazy asking WHEN ARE MY PULLETS GOING TO START LAYING ?????????

Just kidding, we love your posts, especially when you laugh at yourself. And a long time ago in church youth group, someone told me never to pray for patience, for exactly the reason you said!
