Hatch Day Tomorrow?

I know everyone wants an egg update, but there really isn't one.

They're still sitting there.

Supposedly, tomorrow will be hatch day, but I'm less and less sure of that. I think some of them are probably alive, in fact, I swear one may even be moving (because it's not usually where I left it) but I don't see or hear anything indicative of any major excitement.

I'm trying to leave them alone and remind myself that Mother Nature has got this covered. Sometimes I think I know more than her though, like the time I grew butterflies and became the Butterfly Midwife...that didn't go so great. Two of them lived though, so you never know, we could have a few hardy chicks regardless of my impulse control problems and complete lack of knowledge.

I think I forgot to tell you all that there was another stinker that I went all CSI on and I think this one died around day 11. It had both eyes and a teensy beak shaped thing and feather stubbles near it's bottom! I didn't kill it though, it was definitely already dead. Through no fault of my own, as far as I know. I almost took a picture for you all and then decided maybe you wouldn't want to see it? I'm lazy, so I skipped it.

Anyway, tomorrow we will see what happens! Who knows how many chicks we will end up with or what rescue missions I may be called to do...
