Bekah's such a wee optimist  ;D

I've got eggs under a broody due to hatch tomorrow ( I think); can't remember how many I put under her either.  :fc: for some babies for her - or maybe we could stick bloomer's incy babies under her  ;D

Our first one started one early morning. Graham had to drag the boys to school as I was glued to the incy. No dinner. Drove like lightening to school at 3. Fish and chips for tea and a very late night. Same scenario the following morning then finally a chick at 11am day 2    :relief: talk about  stress!!

Hope yours are quicker than that.  :fc: 

I'm guessing you have 6 happy chicks  :chook:  :chook:  :chook:  :chook:  :chook:  :chook: by the end of the week

Ages !!!! :innocent:   Some of mine pop out in a few hours from pipping and others took over 24 hrs.  My hatches often last 3 days.  My bet is 5!  Good luck, its such a time waster... and so addictive!
