Setting Eggs Sept. 24th-Oct. 4th-Last Hatch of the Year. Anyone care to join me?

So I can only tell on myself to everyone here...

I set my eggs in the bator at 7pm...

I look at the clock, it's 9pm...

I think, "OMG YAY!!! 2 HOURS DOWN ALREADY!!!!"

Hahahaha 2 hours? Really?!?!?!? I've Already lost it

Had a bit of a scare yesterday, when our broody hen was leaving her separate hutch she knocked a few of the eggs out of the nest! Since it's floor level they just rolled a little, but I'll candle the eggs later tonight and see how they're going. Hopefully they're doing good!

And just wait until its hatch day, 1stTimeChikMama! Then you'll be counting down the minutes, especially when they've pipped xD Its always best when they pip overnight and you come out to a new chick!
 
Brook - you're AWESOME at this, I love that you've put it all on the 1st page. Yay!!!
OK - Day 7 candling is 10/11 = heartbeat and movement. Progressing well. Unfortunately the only clear one is my single (most prized) Delaware egg :(. But I refuse to take it out yet. Im gonna wait till day 14.
Will update on Super blues when I candle on Saturday :)


DAY 14 (Barnyard mix) - All 10 growing, looking good. Chucked the Delaware :(

DAY 11 ?(Super Blues) - after day 7 I threw out four which were not viable. All 12 growing so well. I love these eggs coz candling is so fun - you can see right through

So I have a total of 22 eggs in bator doing well on Days. 11 & 14
