I'm on day 19 and it is killing me not knowing anything!! My are under a broody hen and I have
just left her alone.
It sure beats worrying about incubator heat and humidy problems but it takes the fun out of watching
them hatch!! And a incubator sure holds a lot more eggs!! LOL!
I worry they won't get enough air or get smashed under mamma or something weird like that. I no
it is natures way but oooohhhhhh! (nail biteing)

First let me say im sorry. Becouse I have some news that you are going to be jealose of. I had to go to my county fair and their was chicken of all kind you name it. I help set up cages etc. Those chickens were even laying egg in their new cages they just got. I saw an americuana lay a green egg and a cochin frizzle lay one too. It was very cool and interesting. Im going to ask my friends to check on one chickens breed that I did'nt have time to see. Becouse I was sick and it was getting dark. But i stayed from 5pm-8:30pm.
