Oh this is just like waiting for Christmas!!! I hope all goes well.

 

Now i'm doubting my original observation of the egg having a pip mark, hehe, i hate waiting.

 

Oooooo *Does impatient little dance* Come on babies!!!

 

Ohhhhh! *joins in on impatient little dance*


:tiel2::tiel1:

(birdies join in as well)

Any time now! How's Mommy Cookie & Daddy Bailee doing?

 

How exciting I hope a baby is on the way

 

come on babies!!!.... we are waiting for you!!

 

No chicks yet....the waiting continues.

 

Ya, its so hard to wait, especially because I keep dreaming that none of Izzys eggs are fertile, and that makes it so much harder, lol.

 

They're both doing good! Cookie was in the nest box much longer than usual this morning, she's usually out by 8am and then Bailee takes over for the day, but she was on the eggs until about 12pm today. I can hear her calling out for cuddles right now.

 

Waiting...waiting...waiting *drums fingers on desk* :lol:

No bubs yet, i was looking at my calendar and if only the last egg hatches then i might have to wait until NEXT saturday!! I am thinking that something will happen in the next day or two, because Cookie has spent the majority of the day in the nest box today which she hasn't done for over a week. Maybe she knows something is on the way...

I have two names picked out in the hope that two eggs hatch, and if by some freak chance more hatch then i have a total of four names. I won't share them just yet, but i think i'll be the only person with tiels with these names....ooohh, don't you just love being unique. I really hope i get two, a boy and a girl, to suit my names perfectly. :lol:

 

*biting nails*

Oh come on little bubs!!! You are keeping us all waiting!

 

You mean we might have to wait another week I can't wait that long Bea I have a feeling its not going to be that long and some will hatch before then, my fingers are crossed

 

Hurry, little bubs, hurry!

 

Come on bubs get cracking

 

Last night something horrible happened, i'm so sad. About 20 minutes after i turned my reading light off Cookie and Bailee had a night fright, and they wouldn't go back on the eggs properly for about 30-45 mins. I'm praying that that's not too long and there's still a chance some might hatch. Bailee was the first to go into the eggs and he was making soft singing sounds to (i assume) call Cookie back in. Eventually Cookie went back in, and she was sitting tight on her eggs when i woke up this morning.

 

Im sure everything will be ok Bea.

Tell those eggies to hurry up we have all been waiting for what seems like ages getting impatient this is the first story i have followed right threw to seeing little tiel bubs im so excited for you

 

oh bea. i'm sure it will be ok. With some being soo close to hatching and all. Hopfully you get a bub soon.

 

Bailee's on the eggs now, they don't seem to be worried so hopefully the eggs are ok.

 

Iam sure it was warm enough in your room for them to be ok for a bit. I hope some bubs are on the way. Can't wait to see some bub photos

 

I am sure it will be ok Bea, there nearing the end so its not as crucial that they be sat on constantly 30-45 minutes is not enough to do any damage the eggs are fully developed in the first 2 weeks and your past that point for most of them and she would have had to have been off them for hours which she wasn't so don't worry

 

That's reassuring. I'm kicking myself for not numbering the eggs now. :lol: I know which two are supposed to be fertile, but i haven't got the fuzziest idea which order they were laid in. I'm going to be slightly insane if i have to wait until Thurs - Sat.

 

I'm going to be slightly insane if i have to wait until Thurs - Sat.

You and me both and there not even mine

 

Iam going stir crazy over here too Iam not sure how you are still sane

 

Do you know what makes it worse! There are these little birds that hang around outside my window making tiny peeping sounds, so i hear it and think there's a baby peeping inside the nest box! <_<

 

Oh my goodness Bea, thats awful I would be checking the box every two seconds thinking there was a baby :wacko:

 

You must be getting so impatient i would be (and worse).

 

Bea something to look for one of the signs that the egg is getting ready to hatch is that the air cell at the wide end of the egg will begin to slide off to one side of the egg. This is know as draw down and happens just before the chick begins to hatch. it usually hatches anywhere from 48-72 hours after that.
