Petee

Those round indentations are bite marks he left about 35 years ago when I first used that incubator!  He also ate a headrest in our car.

These photos sure won't ever win a prize, but I think you can get the picture!

My son and I tried to get pictures this evening but the plastic windows are very yellowed from age.  Just as soon as I can safely remove them from the incubator I will take pictures and post them.  

There are now two chicks and several eggs have pipped.  Hopefully they don't mind peeping Petees with flashlights in their portholes.

There are currently 4 chicks in the incubator and more pips.  I'm headed off to get a new tote to use as a brooder because I guess I used the last one for something else!  I set them on my kitchen stove and turn on the fan lights which can get very hot if necessary.  I use a baby gate on top and a towel if the air conditioner is running.   I also hang the water and food so it stays clean and use pine shavings.
 
My son always comes in and says, "Hey, you're cooking chicken but I don't think they're done yet!".  
 
Now it will be the outdoor toaster oven and the microwave for meals because it's too hot to turn on the stove anyway.

Nothing but a cheeper!  I keep hearing it but no immediate signs of a chick.

Aarghhhh!  I can hear it clear down here in my basement office and it's driving me crazy!  

It popped out of the shell about 5:30 and immediately made its way to the front of the incubator where there's a little light.  It's knocking all of the other eggs around and I think it's egg #2.  I forgot that I had set them in order in the incubator.
