Yours just starting? I've been dreaming of fuzzy butts every since I candled on day 10. LOL! Don't judge me, it's my first time.

I was like that my first hatch, this is my second so I've been a little more calm, BUT it's starting to KICK in for sure now! lol

According to my count, today (Sunday, September 25) is lockdown. There will be more Silkies, Frizzles, and Sizzles for me to love!

I set on the 8th so im a day behind.

I am actually just going to DE-coffee a little bit and start getting prepped for LockDown! YAY!

...and it's done!

28 eggs looking good!

I have 8 that look sketchy and I don't have much faith in, BUT since they weren't stinky - I put them in the corner to see what happens and if I get 1 out of those 8 awesome, but I hope those other 28 are all ready to start crackin' come Wednesday!

Even got my brooder all cleaned out and cozy... now the wait!

As Tom Petty sings, the waiting is the hardest part! I'd wager that the last three days feel longer than the preceding three weeks!

Yikes, I have a pip. This Tuesday would be 21 days so this makes them only 19 days. Should I worry?

I also see two other eggs moving and hear chirps coming from the bator.

I dearly hate it when the pip winds up on the bottom... if I don't check all the eggs every few hours, I wind up with dead chicks. *sigh* But so far I have 6 living chicks from the first Silkies & Sizzles batch, with the second batch on Day 19. Pictures tomorrow!
