Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

aw W4W, I do know the feeling! she is so soft and inviting... this morning, she had them up early, but they were all moving as one unit. Gossy had her wings held out a little and they were walking slowly... a lot of peeping and legs...
I'm on my way out the door already. today is the pitts. I won't finish work until 6 PM, and it's an hour commute. I don't like this route yet. mainly, because I don't really know it and it takes me too long. I'll miss everyone terribly and I know all kinds of cute things will be happening...

Yes, I am hatching again but this time I am hoping it will go a lot smoother because I won't be so stressed. These aren't for me so theoretically less emotional investment in the outcome so hopefully less stress?

But you haven't factored in the worry of accidentally killing someone else's pet... = lots of stress

Oh, that is a horrible thing to say! Haha!

I pet sit for my friend who has tens of thousands of dollars worth of fish and corals and that is stressful. I think this lady understands that the hatch rate might be anywhere from 0-100% so even if none hatch she's not going to be upset. She'll just get chicks elsewhere lol.

mortie, you know you will obsess over those eggs hatching!

It's unavoidable!


cheeka, you work too hard.

Are you going to have any chickie-babies for when Mylee comes?

not 1 but 2 eggs today both layed in the nesting house...Sooki's is the larger browner egg and the smaller lighter one is Arlene's first egg

Congrats on the new layer, Athena! What are you going to do with 3+ dozen eggs a week when they all start laying?

True, sadly.

After a few months of giving up laying, Babs returned to the laying world, at least Im very sure it was her, The egg was unevenly coloured, slightly rinkled and thin shelled; but it was better than nothing!

I only said that about pet sitting for the neighbours because I remember vividly when I was younger pet sitting the neighbours hamsters. I went there one day and the hamsters where no where to be seen, I panicked thinking I'd let them escape and proceeded to spent the best part of the hour searching for them. I glanced back at the cage and saw them. Part of the cage had an elevated platform and they had literally gone in the far corner underneath and piled sawdust on top of themselves, I couldn't believe it.

Ever since whenever I see the neighbours out with their pets I think about that moment.
