I am locked and loaded! Crossing my fingers I get ONE lonely little chick!

Well my power just went out - they say it will be a few hours before it's back up. Very worried about the eggs - the temp is already dropping. I'm tempted to put them outside - it's hotter out there than in my house.

lol, Silkies don't lockdown, but I won't be petting her any more to hear her growl at me or checking she is still covering up the eggs nicely. She is being such a good mom I hope they hatch.
Although I was thinking of getting out my stethoscope to see if I could hear peeping.

I moved my 5 silkie eggs and 2 "homegrown" eggs to my hatcher yesterday (the turner is still going in the incubator for the d'uccle eggs). Keeping fingers crossed!

I saw on your other thread that your power came back on - that's good! Hoping you have a good hatch.

Nothing happening yet - but it sure was a crisis!

Woot! Were d'uccle hatching buddies! I have 8 in good shape at the moment. Mine are mfd's.

I don't know if I am imagining things, but I took my stethescope and put it on the eggs I could reach without moving Momma Silkie last night...I heard nothing from 2, but one I think I heard a heartbeat, the other I think I heard a heartbeat and scratching. Is that possible or am I hearing Momma bird's heart???
I don't dare hope they will hatch....
