ok guys....i DID wake up to something happy! remember...out of my 8 showgirl eggs, i only had one pip? well, the "one pip" egg is still trying to get out....it's just making a bigger hole in the egg. BUT, a different egg hatched during the night! and i THOUGHT i saw a pip in that egg before i went to bed, but it was only a slight hairline crack in the egg....so slight i thought my eyes could've been playing tricks on me. but sure enough, it hatched during the night! i'll try to send pics later. anyway, it's not a showgirl, it's a silkie. but i'm still gonna keep him (i was gonna keep one outta this batch) cuz he's my 1st chick outta my 1st hatch. kinda special don't ya think? anyway, i think he's gonna be a white silkie.....the lil' guys' got a vaulted skull, that's for sure! cute as can be! send good hatching vibes for the slow one to hatch!
