Tommorrow

[rsleghornchicki]

Dear Eggs,
I know I put you in and everything,but can't you hatch tommorrow or something instead of the day after tommorrow? That's the first day of middle school. I want to be there when you hatch. Oh well, I just hope I get at least 2 baby chicks.
Love,
Your new mom

I hope you get your wish. I'm watching my first batch of 6 eggs hatch today . Sending you good hatching vibes....

um do you happen to do dressage? i saw in your profile picture... I just started it, so far nothing i have had about 4 failed hatches.

That's my daughter riding my mare Zoe, and yes she just started training in dressage. I hope you have a good hatch this time. I had 2 bad hatches with my broody hen, so I went and bought myself an incubator. Just had 5 babies to hatch out of 6. The last one died I think,

Zoe is pretty at least she is collected unlike my naughty little morgan
she all scruffy becuase it's winter
