7 of 8 hatched so far, and #8 has pipped.

I have the 'bator in the closet. When I opened the door to check on them, they came running over and lined up at the window of the 'bator looking at me. "Are you our momma?"

So sorry to those who are still waiting. I'm still hoping for chicks for everybody!

I just had a sad incident. I went to a dinner theater and left the 9 chicks in the brooder. I knew I had put the cat out before we left. But apparently not, I cam home to 8 chicks and one close to dead breathing really hard, I got her warm and thought she might have been ok. No she died I think she may have had internal injuries because of the little blood she spit up at the end.

I tried everything from sugar water to a warm light and washcloth. She just didnt make it....

I still have 8 little fluffy butts though!

Still kinda bummed though, I hope that it wasnt a hen and the others are roosters....

Good to hear the cat only got one of them though.

#8 was shrinked wrapped so I helped him out this morning. He's still resting in the 'bator.

One more hatched! A black silkie. Now I'm just waiting on my mystery egg. I swear I saw it rocking this morning before work, so I'm still hopeful that it will hatch.

I never saw any of my eggs rockin' and a rollin' except when bounced around by the other chicks.
