Anybody Got a Spare "Patience" Hat?

[HanneysCorns]

Well I guess my strong point isn't patience...I know, I know, how many days does it take to hatch an egg!

I'm on day 61 with my first clutch of the season. In past years I've been able to solidly count on 55 days to hatch...these extra days are killing me! Twice a day, faithfully checking the egg container for signs of cracks in the eggs is driving me crazy. Dang moss...little pieces perching precariously on top of those pearly whites...are they cracks this time...nope, cause they brush away!

Arghhhhh! This truly is the most frustrating part of breeding season for me...I'm anxious, but in a good way. The eggs look great and are swelling nicely, but c'mon pippies...let's get this show on the road!

I know, come later this month I'll probably be wishing for the freedom and non-responsibility that I'm cursing right now...but hey, isn't that the way it goes.

Get crackin' pippies...you made me wait long enough! 'Tis the season to be 'jolly' in a corn breeder's world and not opening those presents for me is driving me insane. Are you listening pippies?

There...now I feel better....
