Thanks guys! I called hubby crying but he was not as understanding. Just needed to vent where someone would understand. If I can get more Lav eggs the incubator will be set up in the guest room and I will put up a babygate to keep the dogs out. What kills me is it was a total freak accident. She didn't mess with it, just got tangled in the cord.

I am sooo upset as Lav eggs are not cheap or easy to come by.

I am so sorry-its hope that gets dashed when our hatches dont work out as planned.
If you find some and need incubator space or a broody we would be happy to help.
Not often you find close BYC friends so close, so if you need anything Im there!!

I don't have the same issues with the falling incubator my chicks just dont hatch!

It's almost 1 am here and 3 of my 5 eggs are piping . I'm sooooo afraid to go to sleep . everything I've read here has got my nerves all bunched up . These eggs have travled a long way to me . Out of 8 eggs 5 developed now I worrie will they live through hatching and if I go to sleep and something happens could I have helped if I was awake . Soooooooooooooo here I am babbling like a woman gone crazy to a computer filled with people I really don't know . I never have had a problem with the creators decision before , but I have put so much into these and really want them and cann't just leave it up to the almighty with out at least standing there begging . ( please let them hatch and be healthy please please ) Now I ask is this crazy ?? Hasn't everyone felt this way or it really just me ? Oh my I really need some rest , my 4 yr old is going to be up at 5am wanting breakfast and then the rest of the farm is going to want fresh water and feed . But my lavender babes , what if ??

Gordonhillfarm~~I think we've all done that...I still do...it doesn't get any better; each subsequent hatch, I'm still on pins and needles until everyone is hatched.

It was even worse with my Lav eggs; probably because I had gone through soooo much trouble with the seller to get them, and paid a fortune for them.

2 out of 4 hatched~~~beautiful, healthy fuzzy butts
til 2 weeks later
then they turned into Splash

I do have 10 of Nat's black/lav split that are growing more beautiful each day; so next year I should have my own Lav. Maybe by then, I will have learned how to post pics on here
