Hmmm... Yeah, that would be a bad freudian slip on a chicken fan site wouldn't it! Darn spell check auto correct! And I'm an English teacher too... Don't tell my students, except they know I can't spell worth poo!

Good luck!

I do see some slighlty rocking but no peeping yet..... i'm getting so impatient I hope they hatch

NO UGH

Okay I have:

3 Dated 17 July should have hatched 7 Aug
3 dated 19 July should have hatched 9 Aug
3 dated 21 Jul that should hatch 11 Aug.

Thing is all but two eggs are still wiggling. So I am not giving up as long as they are wiggling. But tomorrow may be the ending point for 17 and 19 July eggs if they do not hatch and stop wiggling. I have stayed up for three nights in a row watching. It is like watching paint dry. I have run a few errands hoping they would begin to hatch but no luck. Just wiggles. There must be something I am missing. Temp and Humidity are good. So it must be when ever they feel good and ready.

I really would like to get it on video

Promise to update ya. Take care, Pauletta

I've been thinking a lot of this post lately! Mine went into lockdown yesterday and I'll probably be up all night sat & sun night waiting... If sat is day 21 how long do I give them to give me signs? Mon?

Well no luck. I got rid of 6 eggs today. BUT I did keep one egg dated 17 July 2011 BECAUSE..... it candled well and is still wiggling. Which is totally impossible RIGHT??

Is it possible I just THINK it is wiggling? But even my DH thinks it is slightly moving.....hmmmmm want do you think? I now have 28 in one bator and 10 in another in lock down.
As of today the rest of the eggs will go in the fridge. Just till Octoberish...... I mean once you start putting eggs in the bator you are pretty much stuck at home, checking temps, water/humidity, candling......hatch day, etc. But I would be so thrilled if the 38 I have now would ALLLLLLl hatch.
