candled one egg from under the hen and she was gonna kick my seat end when went to look at another so will call that one good should be hatching any day, will see how many of the 24 hatch.

Tomorrow I candle the incubator for day 10

That's a nice thought, and I thank you kindly for it. But I think it's because after the heart attack a few weeks ago I'm trying to quit smoking. So I figure all of the eggs are a test - if can handle the stress of incubating eggs and trying to hatch them out without a cigarette, I can handle anything!!

My husband has had success using Wellbutrin to quit. It is an anti-depressant but as a side effect it makes you not want cigarettes.

OMG! Newly hatched showgirls are NOT cute! My daughter was watching it hatch with me. When it emerged from the shell it was all like pulsing slime and no feathers on its neck and most of its head. And she got this horrified look on her face. She was all like "Mom! I think we need to put it back in the shell. It's not finished yet!"

LMAO!!!!

Nah. Makes too much sense!

Problem is I run into sooo many problems with everything I do... Hatching, coop building you name it. Always something jumps up in the way that delays it so I'd be suprised if I got it finished in time.... Hmm... Decisions decisions....

And I dont got a place to keep them yet!!!!

3 weeks is a long time to screw things up..........now get to work.

You think? Ok must just be my imagination. Can't wait till I candle them again. That would be so fun if it was twins then I could assist them hatching.

If it is twins it's not good........but I wish you the best of luck with them if it is.

I did the Wellbutrin thing several years ago. I wanted to quit so badly then so I kinda sorta neglected to tell the new doctor at our clinic that I have epilepsy. Ooops. He found out when he was talking to the dr I normally see and I got a call telling me to stop taking it. Well, it was about 3 seizures too late. I know other folks who have used it with great success but even the warning labels say it may cause seizures even in people who don't already have a seizure disorder. Same with Chantix. So I either have to do nicotine replacement or cold turkey. Cold turkey ain't happening....so my after my heart attack in February my cardiologist started monitoring me using the patch, and so far it's working out okay. Not easy, but okay. Thanks!

Okay, okay! But I can mess things up like you wouldn't believe.

Yeah I know it is. I don't have a good chance of them surviving. Gues I'll just have to wait a bit to know if it is or not. Thanks for the help.
