Don't forget the trips with ice and ice water lol I think I'm in heaven lately we are in the 98-99 degree range! I will definitely give you the heads up when I know for sure what days. As of this moment it'll be the last weekend of this month.

EEEEKKKK so exciting first silkie eggs pipping!!

My advice is either duct tape yourself to a chair where you can't stare at the eggies every single second and drive yourself nuts OR go to sleep and hopefully wake up like a kid on Christmas to lots of good surprises fluffy and waiting for you

Okay, so how did you know I was peeking at them every 10 mins!

Yeah, I like the duct tape idea. My husband will love it!

Haha! I know because I did it idk how many times! I would sit there so long with flashlight in hand whilst biting my lip in anticipation that I'd get a crick in my neck!

OMG! That's exactly what I'm doing! I'm so afraid my flashlight batteries will die and the room light isn't enough!

Need a little stress in your life do you?

Sorry, I think I'm losing it! When that first little fuzzy butt slips out of the egg, my face will split from ear to ear! What a miracle! I was just telling my daughter (who's broody is on the same schedule as my bator) that it is such an incredible miracle that I watched these little guys (from day three when I first candled) grow into a tiny being that has all the same parts as me - legs, heart, eyes, "hair", mouth, ears, voice, etc., and they hit the ground running in 21 days ready to find their own food and drink. Now I'm crying... Oh boy, it's going to be a long night...

Well, look on the bright side. You have an incubator to press your nose up against. Better that than the broody, heh??

I know just what you mean, been there, done that, and now you are making me want to do it again!!

Your eyes get crossed, you dart the flashlight from egg to egg, knowing you saw something out of the corner of your eye! You try to breath very quietly so you can hear the interior pips, but then your nose whistles, and you have to start all over again! Sound familiar?? This is a serious disease for sure!

Soooo, any babies yet?????
