Set eggs 9/27/10 - anyone care to join?

[trishmk]

Had one little pip and the faintest "cheap cheap" (so sweet!) when I got home from work yesterday around 4pm but...nothing since. I guess staring at them doesn't help speed things up?

No, staring doesn't seem to speed things up, but if you take a nap that might help

During both my previous hatches, I had babies wake me up from 2 rooms away!

Come on, babies!!!

1 has hatched.... so cute, its blackish. The 1st one that piped is the same... then other one nothing still. I'll post pics later

Alright I'm back to report... the 1st one that piped hatched just now, alittle blonde one

The last eggs is wiggling

 

[trishmk]

Yay!

Still waiting here... but you've given me hope.

Congratulations on your babies, Jen4!!!

trishmk, I hope your babies hatch soon!!!

I have two pips! One has started to zip, but the other one has pipped at the wrong end of the egg! I hope s/he makes it! The beak isn't through yet.

Good luck, everyone!!

That's awesome!

I've got 3 pips - one has been well over 24 hours - has it's little beak out and is chirping away so I guess it's ok? I so want to help it along but am sitting on my hands and will just see what happens. I'm assuming the "right" end of the egg is on the large end? If so, two are good to go but one is smack in the middle of the egg:

Think I have anything to worry about?

I'm glad it's Saturday cause it looks like I'm gonna be awake for awhile!

 

[trishmk]

Whew! We have our first chick!

It's the one that pipped yesterday afternoon. Its chirping up a storm and has covered every square inch of the incubator and knocked all the other eggs around.

So exciting!

The shell was marked "PN" by the breeder - maybe you ladies know - is it code for Partridge?

(Sorry about the image sizes - I took them on my phone and not really sure how to resize)
