Who's hatching right now?

I got a few EE eggs on day 9. How will this thread differ from the Hatching / Incubation Help thread started by Kathy?

hers is more for emergencies, not like a hatchalong

Oh yeah! I even notice that there is a place there to see who is active at the time. I like that. There are times I need to talk to a certain person. Hmm, speaking of that, I have not noticed a pm on here. Has to be. Another thing staring me in the face.
Ok, grumpy ol man. This not so grumpy old lady is heading out. Thanks for showing me that sneak peek. I fee better now.

pms are conversations here

Did you hatch your own eggs, or did you buy eggs from someone? I would be interested in possibly buying some hatching eggs.

i have both in my bator!

I have 19 Silkie eggs a week and a half out from hatching but I also just had a broody hen hatch 6 silkies. Also have a Silkie hen that adopted some Marans, NH reds, and speckled Sussex that I bought.

Ooo, love that black silkie! I have a 4 month old..and a light blue. I can tell already, that the blue is going to make a great broody. I haven't had a mama for a while. She just took over..at 4 months, taking care of some little bantam cochins I put in their pen. I went to put the babies in a warmer place for the night, as it was still getting cool..where were they? I lifted the two silkies..ahhaa, all snuggled up under the silkies. The blue girl will call the babies over to eat when I put treats in the pen. It's so cute. I think she will go broody before she even starts to lay! Is that possible?

I am excited. Going into lock down tomorrow. I always mark the eggs, get the bator lined, and set the eggs the way I want them set the night before, so, that means tonight. I hope they are all still viable. They were 3 nights ago. Ask me if I don't mind candling. Looking forward to some NN babies..love love the ones with the bow ties.

Love me a RIR! Or two!

Oh, I've seen those Lavender Orpingtons..well, they were English ones..probably a difference? Man those chickens were big! Loved the color!
