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

 

[Bea]

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

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

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

 

[Bea]

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! <_<

 

[Laura]

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

 

[nic bike]

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.

 

[Bea]

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

Ok, so, i just turned my computer off, kissed Blinkie goodnight, climbed into bed, quietly told Cookie and Bailee to please not have any night frights tonight, opened my book and as i was reading the first page i hear it....

LITTLE TINY CHEEPING SOUNDS!!!

So my heart starts racing, and i'm grinning like an idiot, and i just HAVE to check on Cookie in the nest box and i can hear it even louder!!! There is definitely cheeping coming from under Cookie's tummy. I'm so excited!! AN EGG IS HATCHING!!! OMG!! I just honestly can't properly describe how excited i am right now!! I knew that i couldn't sleep without sharing the exciting news, hopefully tomorrow i'll be sharing photos of Cookie and Bailee's first little baby!!!

[atvchick95]

[Bea]

After a sleepless night of listening to an egg cheeping on and off, Cookie won't budge :lol: so i don't know if there's a baby yet. I can't here cheeping right now so the baby is taking a break whatever it's up to.

 

[Bea]

Not hatched yet, one egg looks to have a tiny crack in it so i assume that's the peeping egg. Should it have more than that seeing as it started making noise last night? I heard it cheeping a little just before so its still alive.
