I set 33 eggs! This will be my first time incubating anything. I’m excited but nervous. I don’t think I’ll calm down until I candle in 8 days. Honestly I’ll probably be a wreck until they are all 4 weeks old lol.
I set my first eggs today!

Chicks are starting to hatch! I’m a giant bundle of nerves right now. Probably won’t sleep until they are all safe in the brooder lol.

Go grab some fruit and chop it up. Then put it over two scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Nothing else you can do but chill. Try to get a good night's sleep, I'll be looking forward to your posts tomorrow.

How do you get feeding ice cream to baby chicks out of this? They hadn't even hatched yet.
"Go grab some fruit and chop it up. Then put it over two scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Nothing else you can do but chill. Try to get a good night's sleep, I'll be looking forward to your posts tomorrow."
I think this clearly says the ice cream and fruit is for AL. Nothing to do but try to relax and grab some sleep. When life threatens to overwhelm you go grab some ice cream and take a minute to get yourself together. Think pleasant thoughts. The fruit is just a bonus.
See how well it worked, that was an excellent hatch.
