LOL, well the pics ARE a little blurry so if she doesnt want to post them, thats okay. I am going to try to get better ones during the day but I only have my camera phone to work with and they are SO wiggly! But I will give it a shot tomorrow. I just wanted people to know I am willing to share pics, not just talk!

One of Shanes is on its way out now...

Ok, here are the pics MagsC sent me. Sorry it took so long. Hubby and I went out to dinner for our anniversary!

 

[MagsC]

Shane, the first baby from yours is OUT!

Noisy,noisy,noisy,lol. He is kind of darker grey/cream looks like? Hard to tell because he is still wet. I am leaving him in the incubator til morning in case any of the others start to hatch and then move him to the brooder.Unless others are hatching in the morning! Maybe he will get the other eggs motivated to pip with his loudness,lol.
Thanks for posting pics KellyHM!

(I sent five, maybe they didnt all forward)

 

[KellyHM]

I only got 2 e-mails, with only one pic each...sorry!

 

[MagsC]

Thats okay, I will try to get some better ones anyway.

Another of Shanes is hatching at the moment.

Congrats! Very cute chicks.

 

[MagsC]

Thanks!

Sigh, the silver sebrights didnt hatch but that doesnt mean I wont try again at some point. We were VERY excited about the silkie that hatched! Thats the one my daughter calls "Nugget". It is a real sweetie.

I did my best with the eggs and had a better hatch this time, though not perfect. Practice, practice, practice....

Mags,

Anything else going on in the bator or is the hatch definitely over?

Shane

 

[MagsC]

Nope, not over! I thought it might be, the white egg is almost hatched, this baby has been a little slower than the others. But then I looked in there to check on progress another brown egg is pipping!
Lots of peeping,lol. So if all goes well, eight babies at least. I am thinking that they might have been delayed a bit because the temps were right around 100 sometimes 99.
