Valentine's Day Hatch

[rarely bored]

Yesterday the newest member of our family (puppy) decided to taste the electrical cord going to the computer I normally use. Sigh. It's gonna take a week for the new power cord to arrive. Sure do hope puppy got a jolt of strong juice so he never tries that again!

Pips??? We have pips all ready????

Hey wait! I do too!!! Just looked in my incubator and there is a hole in an egg!!

Oh NO! The brooder box isn't ready!!

Get the duct tape!


That cochin is adorable!

I have a chick! I had gotten my hova bator back, and was going to plug it in, so it can heat up, and add water, when my mom said that she hears something peeping. I quickly looked in the LG, and saw that the mutt egg had zipped part way, but it had the worst case of shrink wrap and stickiness I have ever seen. The humidity was about 20 percent. I had to help the chick out, and got the hova fired up, and water added. It was at 97 degrees with 87 percent humidity within minutes! Then moved the chick and 3 Tomaru eggs in the hova. As I was moving the Tomaru eggs, I felt one tapping the shell!

Gee you guys are early

Still nothing over here. . . No peeps, no pips. I'm expecting to wake up at night hearing a few peeps though. I usually have pips by day 20, sometimes one or two chicks out, but, rarely anything any earlier.

These are two of my 6 Ameracauna hatchlings! (these were actually due yesterday!) These are project chocolate Ameracaunas. Chick on the left is black, the chick on the right is a chocolate pullet!

I usually hatch early but not a pip, a peep or any rocking here at my house. Probably due to the unplugged incubator earlier in the hatch.
