Alrighty! Well guess what??

Day 19 is passing as I type! :woot

Im so glad she has made it this far! :woot

Day 20 is tommorow and I expect the pipping to begin and the little cheeps from within the egg! :woot

Tuesday afternoon when I get home if it is warmer out and not muddy out I am letting Broody Buff and Babies out to roam a little. I think it will work okay........... :fl

Now lets hope my hatch goes wonderfully!! :fl

:woot :woot :woot :woot :woot :woot :woot

Today has been the longest day EVER!!
I so enjoy your vibrant exuberance, but....

:old everything passes in it's own time...things may not be happening exactly to your calendar, I'm just sayin' ;)

Still happy for you though... :)

Congrats on your broody sitting tight. :)

I'm not sure if this is what Farmer Jamie meant or not but ... I've found hatching under broodies sometimes doesn't follow the timetable you expect. If it DOESN'T go as you think ... Don't be too quick to toss the eggs, help things along, or worry too much.

I've had broodies hatch out eggs after more like 28 days, believe it or not.

Oh, I'm hoping he does too!

I raised a single chick lately from a clutch of five or six set, partly because I thought they'd hatch close to 21 days and then cuz I thought they'd at least hatch within a few days of each other.

Didn't want him making the same mistakes I did in his enthusiasm is all. :)
