Nothing's changed :(

Hopefuly it wont hatch overnight (though that'd be my luck!) and will wait so I can watch it tomorrow!!!

Hi
It must be sooo exciting to hatch your own girls  :)
I would be very tempted but then I think of all the equipment that is needed and of course what would have to be done with the cockerals that would be hatched  :(
So I will just read all the exciting posts that you all post instead.  :)
1 Hubby, 2 children, 2 Welsummers, 1 Leghorn Banty, 1 Wyandotte Banty, 1 Barnevelder, 2 Isa Brown, 1 Rhode Island, 1 Goldline,1 Maran, 2 Mottled Leghorns, 1 Leghorn cockerel & 2 Jack Russells

You could hatch under a broody?
Oh no! Done it again.
I MUST NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO HATCH EGGS!!!!  :lol:  :lol:

Bad Jinty
Why did my heart skip a beat when I read that!
I did have a banty that went broody for nine weeks last year  :)
But still leaves the cockerel problem, I couldn't rear them for meat I'm afraid  :(

Personally I think those who encourage others to hatch ought to offer to take the cockerels - looks like Jinty will be having a lot of boys to deal with  ;)
Bad Jinty  :tongue2:
Staffies are softer than you think.

Yay!!! I have a little peep this morning.

The other egg looks a dud though :(  So now I'm going to have one chick by itself for a week :(

I'd forgotton how plainitive their cheeping could be!  I'm dying to get him out of the hatcher, but he isn't quite fluffed up yet.

When I move him to the brroder, I'll take pics, of course ;)
