jellykelly Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Barack'o brahma has been sitting on 6 eggs since monday. She's doing a fab job. The eggs are nice and toasty and I'm getting her off of the nest twce a day for her little breaks. I have just one little problem........ Time is going so slowly!!!! Patience has never been one of my virtues. When I want something,I want it yesterday! I'm going to be stupidly silly when we get closer to the hatching date. Please tell me that I'm not the only one that gets so excited over potential babies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Oh no, you are certainly not alone ............I was beside myself when Blossie's 3 week "confinement" finished on Monday night when little voices were heard in the nestbox.........and I still have Holly & the Inccy to look forward to in 1..2...3.........11 days including today a potential 12 more little fluffy babies to oooo & aaaaa over.............husband & children?...can fend for themselves......... I have chicks to deal with Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It never gets boring. How can anyone not get excited when something so perfect hatches from a tiny egg? It's a miracle! I could literally burst with pride over my broody girls who show such dedication to the job and I take a huge amount of pleasure in seeing how much they enjoy motherhood. I agree though that time goes soooooo slowly, the last few days are particularly anxious times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I wondered how on earth I carried 2 babies for 9 months, while I was waiting for Muppet to hatch her eggs- those three weeks seemed like an eternity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Lol - I've had 4 babies and I'm pretty sure I wasn't as impatient as I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Not sad at all Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 1 week to to. Why isn't the time going faster?? I'm still very excited. I think I'll be camping outside next to the coop at the weekend, I'm that keen to see babies!! I ran into the lady that gave me the hatching eggs at the weekend. If the eggs fail she's kindly offered me some sablepoot eggs - I don't think that I could take another 3 week wait though. This hatching/waiting lark is unbearable.
