Staying up all night to watch a hatching! with PICS

[202roosterlane]

Hi I have recently had my first three chicks from the bator. But I always missed them hatching. So tonight I have four rocking and rolling. It is 11:41 pm here in Arkansas and I am going to stay up and wait

, and wait

, and wait.....

Hoping to get some pics with no flash so I don't hurt their eyes.... I just keep telling my self, "don't falll asleep......" I am gonna set my egg timer for every 20 minutes in case I do fall a sleep. My granddaughter will love to see the pics.

Here is the first one.

Update: little guy dated 16 July just wiggled. He might live after all!!!

UGH !!

well I am eggggshausted! They wiggled all night. Even the little guy I thought was not going to make it. But no chicks yet. So I am going to do it all day and night again. I really hope four hatch bout the same time!!!

Good luck with that. Don't you know a watched egg only hatches when you walk away. lol So sneak away slowly they when they least expect it look again. LOL

I know right?!? I have checked on them all day.. They are still wiggling, but no chirping. I really hope they make it. I'm gonna try and check on them through the night.

It takes a long time even if you do catch them zipping that takes long enough for you to get bored or look up at the clock and realize you just wasted 1 1/2 hours doing nothing and it still didn't hatch. I have seven baby quail and 12 more to hatch. I've caught 3 of them. Good Luck Michele
