Setting eggs today 5-3-12...anyone with me?

[auntie hattie]

So I'm just sick. I was candling my eggs to go into lockdown and I dropped one. I have never done that before and I wish so badly that I hadn't done it now. I'm just sick about it. I only have five in lockdown now. Poor little thing I just feel terrible. I was trying to put them into lockdown before I left for my daughters graduation and I guess I was trying to hurry to much. Lesson learned.

Alabama is rockin and rollin. I just saw three rock a couple times each! They are getting into position for their big debut!! Most of mine are wedged up around the sides of the incubator to leave more room in the middle for the romper-stompers. I am an X Romper Room teacher on tv in the 70's in the GA market. Magic Mirror tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play?

I remember that show. I even remember when she would look through the mirror (it had no actual mirror in it). Hahaha


OMG I have an egg moving...yipeee

Auntie Hattie: I am so sorry. I will keep my fingers crossed for the others. Hopefully seeing them will brighten your day back up. Tell your daughter congrads.

So sorry to hear about the egg dropping.

But congrats to your daughter!

I think my family thinks I am nuts because I want to stay up watching for hatchers.

Sadly the chick did not make it....It was too weak to start off with and also it had yanked itself a bit too much from the egg so yea....pretty gutted about it but lifee

Sorry about you're little one. Just remember you tried everything you could. And sad to say it will get easier when you lose one the more you incubate.

 

[WyoChickenMamma]

Sorry to hear about that chick.

Thanks JDchicks and WyoChickenMamma. It has been a great day for my daughter and family.
Sorry sawinga hatching can be so fun if everything goes right but it can be difficult to watch when it doesn't. These little chicks tug at our hearts.
Good luck everyone with your hatching. Don't forget to post pictures for those of us that are still waiting for our first pips.

Really sorry about the little guy that could not get out, and about the one dropped. Things just happen. I'm up early to check for pips. Day 20 is on go. I have 3 of the most tiny one-flake pips you've ever seen, but I swear I hear PEEPS! No one told me you could hear them! My cat hears them, too. She is sitting with ears peeled toward the bator. Good luck today everyone.
