Post by: peeppeeps on November 20, 2010, 19:23

WOOT :D i have to share oh my goodness i am like an expectant dad on a due date :wacko:. My husband just is laughing at me :lol: and loves to watch me run back and forth ever 5 mins to peek in on the babies but he is just as eggcited as i am :tongue2:. this is our first hatch ever and two have little tiny pipped holes and the others are just rocking and rolling they started about 60 mins ago or so :blink:. We started out with 18eggs 6 were infertile and one died early on about day 10 :(. so we really cant wait to see what happens next :). Just thought i would share :D.
