It is always more fun when you can wait together. I am at the start of incubation on some more eggs and I am anxious already. 21 days is just too long.

i hate that, mine always half hatch when i'm asleep and i wake up to crying peeps in the bator about 4 or so in the am,lol. i miss most of the excitement.

i've never got to hatch the same times as others that i knew so this is going to be tons of fun!! my little serama girl is alone so she will finally have her own kind so i'm looking forward to them. she is in now with silkies and showgirls in the one brooder but they r outgrowing her fast.

babies i hatch from u will be in with the seramas cause i got silkies in brooders from my flock, webb acres and julie. i had to zip tie some of them legbands so i know who they came from,lol they r all starting to feather and not tell apart.

i'm very excited to see the babies i hatch from u that will give me another bloodline for them. i was looking at some of my splash girls yesterday and that pen u wanted eggs from, omg!! i got to get pics taken for u they have really blossomed into some beauties!!!

Oh you are breaking my heart. I can't wait to see come pics of those girls and to get some eggs soon. Keep me posted.

I candled my eggs last night and the bantam barred rocks (I did not candle but about 6 of the 10) but they all had veins. I could not see at all through the araucanas yet. They are too dark. It was only day 4. But I was curious. Keep your fingers crossed. I know what you mean about not being able to tell them apart. Man. I will have to start banding them or something when I add new stock.

Keep me updated. Cant wait to hear you have fuzzy butts. Did you candle when moving them to the hatcher?
