Go Mrs. A-K's chick number 10! You will have to name it Mary Lou for it's a perfect 10! (sorry past olympics on my mind)

I just heard the faint internal peep from one of my Golden Lakenvelder Eggs!

Maybe I will have a pip later tonight!

Back to homework

Actually, I am only on day 20, I miscounted. UGH!! Hopefully I will have lots of pic's to show tomorrow.

3 pips now! Something set off the motion sensor last night (on the house) so I had to come check.

2 golden lakenvelder and one cuckoo marans!

Yay - cuz I couldn't see clearly into the Marans egg - I just thought it looked like it developed.

I hope the other marans egg is good also...

Day 20 on 7 and day 18 1/2 on the other 4.

She also has this Astrolorpe egg that already hatches a few pics for ya the other eggs EE and a silkie eggs are all starting to do the pip thing. I would say of 11 we have three that seem like possible quiters?

I DID IT!!

Actually they did it! I had to call my friend, Mrs. AK Bird Brain...to make sure I wasn;t imagining the peeping noises coming out of the bator. I had three coturnix eggs in there, as well as 2 green eggs, and 2 bantam eggs.

I hovered over the bator ALL day yesterday. I watched them wiggle around, and the cracks in the shell get bigger and bigger, and when my hubby came home, we ran to the store. I sure wished I had stayed home, because in the 20 minutes we were gone, it happened. I had all three quail in there...A day late. and a day early, the green egg was wiggling, and I saw cracks on the bantam eggs. 4:45 am, I heard them. There was a really wet black blob...(Out of my green egg) and a slightly smaller golden one. (Banty) and at 6:30, there was another banty in there.

WOOHOO!!!!!

I have chicks!!!

Tori, thank you so much for getting me hooked!!!

I can't wait to see what the rest are going to look like

The last one was still attached by his cord to the shell, but he broke free, and is peeping to join his buddies in the brooder box. I'm dying to open it, but he's still wettish looking.

Waiting is the hardest part!!!

I have 2 more green eggs, 2 more brown eggs, and 4 banty eggs that are set to hatch on sunday, and 8 more quail eggs set to hatch on monday, and the rest of mt eggs from Tori due to hatch on sept 8...I'm also going to try to hatch more quail...my little nephew "needs some", he says.
