set my eggs on August 9th any one else setting too?

Yes, I love the broody mom syndrome too.... they go into a zen like state, until you come near and then it is a Godzilla like state...

. I might just have to call that one little foot when it hatches.
 
Hatching has begun on my quails :D

Day 19...
Broody is in good spirits and as much a velociraptor as ever...
I on the other hand am having crazy dreams about baby chicks...last night I had to do CPR on one drowning....chest compressions on a freshly hatched chook can be so tedious in one's dreams...
I am obsessed about the clutch...will she be as good a Mum as she is a setter? Will she brood them well or will I have to rescue and brood them? She is a first-timer and I am always worried about how they will take to having a family.
I find myself sitting in the henhouse and just staring at her while she dozes.
I guess I should be grateful for the dreams because at least that means I am sleeping. Unlike when I lie awake, running scenerios in my head...
I am thankful, however, I have this 'support group' to confess my madness to.
Is everyone this much of a hen-stalking freak (or incubator stalking, I guess) as I am???
Does it ever get less stressful, or is this normal, and to be expected?
 
I started 16 mail order ameraucanas on the ninth. I've had bad luck with ameraucanas in the past, so I'm anxious about these especially now that its day 19. I keep checking through the little window, humidity and temp is fine so I don't know what I expect to see.
