How long now Auntie Mo????

[Flummery]

does your nose hit the ground then you wake up and look round to see if anyone noticed too

Certainly! (You mean everyone else DOESN'T?)

[lynda66]

i do it all the time, i just wondered if you did too

[MaureenHall]

Good morning everybody. I had a very early night last night cuz I was exhausted after all the stresses and eggsitement of the day. During my night-time wanderings what did I find? Another baby almost out of the shell and 3 eggs with holes. Got up this morning and there's 4 more beautiful babies Grand total so far is 6 out of 12. Yippee!!!!!!

[Suechooks]

Brilliant Maureen! Don't think I'd be eggsadurating to say it's maaaaaaaaarvellous! More piccies please then I can ooooh and aaaah when I get back from the lottie after seeing to my girls and walking the dogs.

[MaureenHall]

More babies

Here we all are (so far, might be more later)

[Suechooks]

Couldn't you just cuddle them to bits!!! They are GORGEOUS. Any indications of boys and girls? There'll be nothing done in your house today! I love to sit and watch my big girls so babies ...........NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOO!

[MaureenHall]

I'm not 100% sure but I "think" there's 4 girls and 2 boys

Morning Auntie Mo and BIG congrats, they are fabulous.

I don't know if you remember 'Lucky' my little chick with the problems after hatching, well anyway she has turnout to be a welsummer and she was the lighter shade with stripes. She still hasn't grown as big as the rest but she is perfectly formed. Enjoy them when there small because in 4 months or so they will be as big as your older girls.
I wish I had a cockeral in that breed as they are magnificent.

And another one has pipped this morning

[lynda66]

.... so any more doing anything yet?? i've lost count lol
6 babies + any more trying to get out??

welcome to the world babies ..... sending lots of snogs

[MaureenHall]

Yes, 6 in the chookarium where the cat can't get at them and they're nice and warm. 1 more pipped, 2 not doing anything and the other 3 I think are duds

[lynda66]

so as auntie flum said, did you count the day you put them in as day 1 or 0 ? cos if 0 they were only due yesterday, which means today isn't really late, so fingers crossed for the others xxxx

[lynda66]

was just thinking though, if you get 7 out of 12, thats very comparable with the 6/10 i got, so maybe buying on ebay and posting isn't so bad after all

[SarzWix]

What lovely news to wake up to Well done Auntie Mo!

[MaureenHall]

so as auntie flum said, did you count the day you put them in as day 1 or 0 ? cos if 0 they were only due yesterday, which means today isn't really late, so fingers crossed for the others xxxx

Because I put them in the incubator at 9am on Thursday 12th February, I counted that as Day 1. If I incubate any more (ever) then I'll count the day I put them in as Day 0, will save a lot of the stress!!!!
