So Eggscited! UPDATE

[laughingllama75]

I cant stand the wait!!!! I have 6 showgirl/silkie eggs under a broody....and they are due to hatch friday. Eeegads! I spent all day today, thinking they were hatching tomorrow. Poo.......time to calm down just a wee bit!
I last candled them about 4-5 days ago......there were swimmers in all. Trying not to get my hopes up. Hoping for a wee chick like this:

I know most of you don't care for these showgirls, but I LOVE them nd had to share. some of the eggs are "just plain" silkies, I cant wait for either.

Good luck! Just because we don't care much about them doesn't mean we aren't happy for you.

Thanks Kitty! I know even though they are "creepy" and not everyones "favorite", you guys would still know what I am going through. I told hubby I wish it was Friday, and he said, "why? you dont want your day off tomorrow?" Well........I guess....... LOL

Oh! so your on pins and needles too!
hang in there. is yours under a hen or in the bator? I give up on the bator this time of year, too hot to try to run it without frying the eggs.

Oh Boy!!! 2 pips this morning, and I hear a bunch of peeps to Momma Hen.
I cant take it anymore! I gotta go to work right now, and then work my second job tonight. I will be able to come home and check this afternoon, so I will let you know how it goes.
