OH SURE! I'm gone for a couple hours and you guys turn on me. Talking about me behind my back! J/K

I had to get the girls fed and am getting ready to put their little booty's in bed so I can see what I've missed on here.

I just have the one still rocking and trying like heck to make a hole in that egg! On day 3 now. The other little guy is a gonner.

I don't get that.

There is absolutely no movement in it. No pecking.. nothing. It looks like it started to break through the air cell and died. It's so weird.

That's promising.

Hatching is tough....they have to switch all their systems over from absorbing oxygen through the veins that they've developed near the egg surface to breathing with their little lungs. It's a perilous time and everything has to go just right for it to work.

OMG one of my dogs, of course the biggest one, a German Shorthair rolled in duck poop. She stinks to high heaven. Now I have to leave here to go give her a bath.

Oh yeah, I think the egg that was moving earlier has a crack in it.
