UPdated! I finally have a REAL PIP!! Not imagined!! No mistake!! PG 6

[Mrs MIA]

When was the last time you candled?

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

Well, I candled a couple eggs on what I thought was day 14, and they looked good. I just ran out and candled one egg, as I didn't want to disturb too many, and the aircell is all I can see. The rest of the egg is full of chick, but I can't make out if the chick is moving or not. I figure I will give them until Friday?

 

[Mrs MIA]

Sounds like a plan. You should have some pips soon...

Oh I hope so. I am going to bawl like a big baby if these little ones don't hatch!​

 

[Mrs MIA]

I know... but sometimes it happens. You should have a whole bunch more to put in the incubator soon, though...

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

True. But still, that's a whole nother 21 days I hafta wait LOL

It will be worth it though.

Oh shoot, well maybe the chicks will surprise you in the middle of the night! Wouldn't that be cool to wake up to little peeps in the morning!

I hope so, but I am thinking if I just don't think about it, bother her, etc, I will have chicks when I least expect it out there! Waiting is the hardest part.

 

[Mrs MIA]

Well, Aly, I'm right there with you... Elvis has 3 eggs under her that are due Thursday. The others of the same set are in my hatcher as of this morning. I have a dozen pretty green EE eggs in there, plus the three under Elvis, so I am not only holding my breath, but everything that can be

is

!!

C'MON CHICKIES!!!!!

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

As much as I would like for all of them to hatch, I would be perfectly happy with one or two chicks!! I just want SOMETHING to hatch, especially since this is my first experience with hatching chicks, albeit it be by broody!

and

for your coming up hatch, too Tori!!
