UPDATES:

I've been gone since Saturday Morning so gotta catch up!

My 2 chicken eggs are suppost to hatch tomorrow!

I'm pretty sure the EE egg is dead but the other one isn't.

My hen Sophie, that hatched out the 4 keets left the other 8 eggs in the nest and when I got home she had left the nest and the eggs were stone cold!

I gave the 8 guin-guin eggs to another broody but .. I'm pretty sure they all died!

Tonight I'm going to candle and see what eggs are good and what eggs are bad ..

Yes, indeedy! Me too! I have two small incubators available right now, and two sets of eggs on their way to me.

Mwaaahahahaaaahaaaaaa! I feel like an mad scientist, creating life in my guest bedroom. The sounds of the fans going, the occasional sound of the humidity pumps, the times when I turn out the lights and candle eggs in the dark.

I'm so hooked. I have a third incubator with 7 BJG eggs in it now. And a fourth, brand new little bitty incubator (R-Com) just for 3 eggs, that I'm trying to decide if I want to use for Trader Joe eggs or some of my own.

I just turned off the first incubator, with the four eggs in it that didn't hatch, and they're cooling. I cannot decide if I want to do an eggtopsy on 'em or not... the second 'bator will be turned off, with its four unhatched eggs, tomorrow, as yesterday was its scheduled day to hatch but 3 hatched 3 days ago.

The 3 bantam cochin and 3 blue/black/splash orpington hatchlings have become one gang o' six chicks in the brooder. Everybody is active, but the banties dash circles around the orps. Plus, they actually - at 4 days old - fly a good half inch high and 3 inches far when whey jump and flap their tiny wings. The orps hop and flap their wings and go thump.

What does everyone do with all the Chicks? Keep them? I would like to hatch more, if I had some good homes for them! I can only keep so many! But I love to hatch.......
