Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Sorry I have not been on here for a while and I'm sorry if I offended anyone ( QJ ). I have been going through a lot emotionally and physically. Being on morphine has really taken a toll on my body and mind. Getting off of it has been harder than I thought it would be. I have been just trying to be by myself to give my body a rest and my mind time to realize it doesn't need the morphine. I think this is 1 of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I have 1 beautiful thoughtful caring lady that either calls or comes over to see me about everyday. She's giving me a lot of strength and confidence right now. I'd be lost without her. It's been really hard on my husband to see me this way also. I have always been a strong Confident woman that usually has no trouble saying what I need to and not worrying about what other people think about me. Right now I kind of feel like an empty shell. I just need to get through this and get back to my old self. I'll be back soon. Love and miss you all
 
By the way as far as my eggs are going, my eggs I got shipped here I only have 6 WHs that were fertile out of 17 . My 4 goose egg babies are growing fantasticly inside their little shells and my 5 german chicken eggs seem to be going well also. I have 12 eggs that I brought in from the 2 nests that I had and all have growing duckies in them. My silkie chicken eggs should be arriving today I have 20 + there. I have 8 + silver apple yard eggs that should be here tomorrow and I have 12 blue and black Cayuga eggs arriving either tomorrow or Friday. So by the time they'll get here I should have 2 incubators full of eggs by the weekend. My Buff Outside is sitting on 4 eggs Which she does not want to leave. And jonny still wants squishy. How old do the ducks have to be before they can mate? Guess I need to do some research there. Good luck on everybody's eggs and hatching. And I will be back soon.
 
SM, thanks for giving us an update! Hang in there!

Iain- Congrats. can't wait to see ducklings. My eggies are starting to move, but think I have another day or 2 until pip at least. I can still see little beaks moving around the membrane, one's air cell has slit in half and goes all the way down one side of the egg pretty much, I hope it doesn't cause problems for hatching.
SM- Sorry about your hard times you are going through. Hopefully all the little baby eggies you have to take care of will help you through!
I've got eggs by my front door ready to go out, and my stupid turkey flew up here and was standing on them a few minutes ago. She really doesn't like baby chicks, lol. Luckily she is only about 10 lbs, not a huge 50lb BBW turkey, and I don't think she hurt anything.
 
Well I now think it is one of my ducks laying eggs because there are three eggs now

. If it were the chickens it would be a new record because they are about three years old and last year they were laying a egg every other day between the two chickens. And my duck hen Ezri has been sitting on them for a couple of days at least in the morning and night when I am home to check on them. I may have to take one out to see if it is fertile.
