It's this week!!! from memory it's a few of us who are expecting little peepers this week. It's truely amazing to go from an egg of white and yolk and only 21 days later out pop little balls of fluff. MAGIC

Good on you two I am behind you both I have jungle fowl eggs in the bator for a mate at the moment so I will not get mine in there for another few weeks the other 12 that I hatched grow so quickly there just like miniature adults now all I have to do now is just keep on piling the food into them and they will do just fine Trev

I have 4 hatched andaround 20 piped at the moment and no splay legs ( I've had a problem with them in the past) YAY!!!! Will post pics as soon as I can get them out of the bator.. They are so cute. It looks like I have 1 white one and I don't have any white silkies. Must be a throw back.. The bator door has turned into a tv with me staring at it non stop. Just had to go get one of my cows that got out of the paddock and was having a nice stroll down the road, so that kept me busy for a while.. Will update later...
