Setting Eggs tonite - due to hatch March 2nd, Anyone want to join in?

[Kismet]

I locked down this morning. I removed five that weren't viable. Twenty-one possible. I can hardly wait for the first pip.
It is amazing to me how many times I have hatched, and I still get as excited and nervous as ever.

Happy hatching, Everyone!

I am so jelous.... None of mine are pipping yet... I went out and got a store bought incubator yesterday. Transferred all of the eggs out of the home-made bator to the new one. I got tired of loosing eggs due to what I can only immagine to be from temperature changes. I went to a local auction on tuesday and bought some Coco Maran eggs. They are in my new bator right now, along with two eggs that I picked up out of cages while there.. Hehe... So hopefully I will get some chicks out of those eggs too. Waiting.......Waiting.........Waiting..........Waiting.........Waiting.......... Wish they all would hatch right now! This being patient stuff is soooooo hard!!
