Commander Moxon sadly reporting death in egg. Chick was peeping and active when we left at 3:30 pm, but is now dead. Not sure what happened? The other one (serama) appears OK. I opened the dead egg. Bird is perfect looking. No signs of trauma or other ill effects. Very sad.
Hopeful that the other one will make it.
Commanders Jordan, Josh, and Moxon have PIPS!! Updates here!

congradulations commander josh. job well done
posting picure of progress of hatching capsul
Any piccage, Cdr. Josh? Requesting pictorial verification...
Great pic Commander Jordan! Looks like zipping may have begun!
Commander Josh, we demand photographic evidence immediately!
Moxon reporting second chick of serama variety still peeping in shellero and pip looking OK, so hopefully will hatch out today. I can see its beak.

Commander Moxon, how long do you figure for my new life form to show itself?
over
commander jordan that one looks close to hatch
and yes commander moxon i will soon get pics
thanks Commander Josh. Commander Jordan getting nervous
over
Commander Jordan, I would guess within the next 2 hours. But that is by no means a guarantee. Chicks do their thing on their own schedule!
thanks Commander Moxon. doing the happy fuzzy life form dance. will keep reporting in.
over
here we go the new life form
Commander Josh, he is just wonderful!! great job

It's your inner artist coming out!
yep i am amazing
Yep, you are, but we all knew that already. ;-)
LOL thanks
important information!
new lif form heard peeping loud and strong. picture of capsule progress to follow
over
sorry, wrong pic.
Definitely the wrong pic! LOL! If that life form were peeping, I'd be taking it to the vet!
The capsule is definitely in the zipping process. Probably less than an hour left to hatch point! Way to go!!!
Cmmander Jordan so eggcited. there is now a little hole in the white part, but life form is now quiet
Good morning all. Mother Bird reporting for duty. Sore, Tired and moving slow. LOL
Congratulations Commander Josh! Darling pics!
Condolences to Commander Moxon for loss.
Commander Jordan, wrong pic is a darling life form..
do post pics of the new baby soon! I have to run to work and get my chores done, I'll be back..
Over
Commander Jordan - Life form is probably resting. Patience is required in this process, as you are so very aware now! I guess I was wrong on my time estimate. Sorry 'bout that!
Commander Moxon, Commander Jordan rgrets patience is not my strongest virtue
Commander Jordan - I think this is a common affliction among chicken egg hatchers. We need to develop a patience pill that will make us temporarily forget that we have pips going on. Perhaps Commander Josh can work on this for us, since he has the special chicken fever patch under development also. What do you say, Commander Josh?
Commander Jordan- Do you think your pupper-dog has enough toys?? I think NOT :) LoL
commander moxon i could look into it but i would need tf and catscan so as to better the effect
Commander Jordan - any update?
My serama has begun to zip.
nope i have intiated first feeding though
Lucky give your little one a small amount and when you notice his crop is empty give him some more.
Ive never really observed how often they feed them don't have the time.
But i know every time i check on them which is twice a day they have food in their crops.
it is easy about every 3 hours and i feed it wombaroo milk it loves the stuff
Um, what's wombaroo milk?
Edited to say that I'm worried you're going to tell me that it's a mix of wombat and kangaroo milk.
Also, I saw a wombat at a zoo once. It was so adorably cute, I wanted to take it home with me. Do you ever see wombats?

Commanders Josh and Moxon:
Tf is out of range establishing a new top secret launch base--Area Chicken 51.
NPGC recovering from excessive egg bidding, but is feeling much better now. Still suffering slight case of Fayoumi-itis.
Patience pill--FFFPT! No problem.
