Setting eggs week of 7/13... Anyone with me??

[OLC Peeps]

thanks for that info about the marbles--my hubby figured it out.... I put some in my waterer and I think it is an improvement. btw from my hatched chicks--we have six... 3 with a mama hen--and 3 without (which we had to help hatch BIG TIME--one little chick I had given up to all but dead but it's just a chirpy and happy as can be today... I just introduced "my" peeps to some keets (2)... the keets probably a week older than the chicks--are more timid than the chicks... One aside--I was watching the keets and chicks and "chirpy" was going strong when a hummingbird came to investigate what was making that chirping noise--I had noticed that the hummingbirds' "chirp" sounded much like the chicks yesterday--so something was obviously similar--that it would have a female hummer checking it out... Life is good here at Our Little Corner even if it's HOT & HUMID right now!!

Ok, so I posted this up and left shortly after to run some errands (in a funk, mind you!). I just got home a little while ago, and as I was putting my groceries away I heard a "peep, peep", so of course I immediately pressed my nose to the window on my bator. Its official! I've FINALLY got my first pip! I felt so dejected this morning the last thing I wanted to do was be down again because my bator isn't doing anything. But its there, and its peeping and rocking and I'm back to being super excited again. I guess it never crossed my mind that I sat them later in the day then I usually do (um-dumb!). The first pip is in one of my B/B/S eggs, I can't wait to see what comes out!!! Go baby, go!!!

Congrads...the excitement from hearing that first pip is the greatest!

 

[JDchicks]

Well, I have only one egg left...so I go a 50/50 chance.

Well still have my one lone chickie, who we named Bear. No more pips when we left...Well got evacuated due to wild fires at the back of the property. Ugh! I hope my bator doesn't flip out while i'm gone!






Bear being evacuated!

Yes, I incubated my silkies eggs on 7/13. on 7/31 two hatched but one died. Today 8/2 another three hatched, they are very weak but seems to me that they will survive. one of them are black measuring 1 1/2 inch, so tiny! one is blue, the others are white. I think they all hatched premature.I still have five eggs in the incubator. Please, let me know how`s yours doing. I think silkies are so fragile to hatch. Hope yours are starting hatching by today or tomorrow.

Do you have pictures of your little babes? Have the last 5 hatched? So exciting!

OMG! I hope you all are ok... AAWW, poor Bear, as if hatching isn't stressful enough! Now is has to go through an evac!! Stay safe, Kim... I will keep you in my thoughts and all your friends and neighbors that everything will be ok...

I just couldn't leave Bear behind. My best friend teases me and tells me that she just knows I have a chickie emergency bag packed just incase.
