Woohoo Everybodies moving right along!

I feel like a crazy person! I can't walk past the bator without stopping to press my nose up against the window and stare into it for at least 5-10 minutes.

I ♥ This... I think we all feel this way

Awww Jen4, what a little cutie! I'm expecting today or tomorrow too! My Loko (10 month old Buff Orpington) has been sitting
on six eggs since Nov 3rd. It is her first time and my first time. I'm getting really nervous........a quick question, can Loko eat chick starter
too?

Congrats!

Actually, I hatched 2 ducks ok in the Little Giant, but that was October 23 or so and I had lots of sponges to help.

I have the little giant too. Everyone is making me very anxious to go home and have a look at my eggs.. What happens if they do come early and I didnt go into lockdown quickly enough. I candled them very quickly this morning and decided that would be my last turning. 21 dys should be Friday.
 
I read somewhere last night on this site that you should be feeding the hen the chick starter the whole broody cycle. I remember becuase I thought, Oh well... to late for that. It is higher in protein than the hen food.
 
Hi Everyone! I am very new to this. Just put my fist bunch in the incubator last night. I have a question...what is the average time from the first pip until they are completely hatched?

In the incubator: 2 Buff Orps, 2 Blue Orps, 2 Black Copper Marans, 2 White Emporansea, 2 Golden Lakenvelder, 2 Silver Lakenvelder, 2 Silver Spangled Hambergs
