Mother Bird ZZ reporting current conditions for South Lodi Base's first hatching mission due tomorrow..
We have early pippage. I repeat.. EARLY PIPPAGE!
Please excuse any typos, as hands are shaking..
Olive Drab module has pippage... module behind that one has pippage.
RH has the glass so foggy, I can't get a good pic!
Good Luck ZZ ^_^
4 pips
Hang in there ZeeZ!! It's only a day, right? How many more to go?
YES!!!
A PINK birthing room. Cool!!!! oops... er... ahem Ninja Dahlianut reporting for duty. Perimeter is secure.
ZZ just a little note if the egg starts to zip you need to move the egg on top of it. It won't be able to push the cap off the egg with the weight of the other on top.
CPO Moxon reporting in for duty. Very worried about multiple color transponder sponges. Unknown how this may affect life forms. Highly suspicious. Did Major Catscan have something to do with that?
I do agree with Major Harmony that pippage of encapsulation module suggests movement of second encapsulation module resting atop of it. Suggest moving it to unpipped egg pair for temporary resting.
The number of modules is tremendously exciting. Please report on expected species.
Good luck and awaiting for news!
Bunk bed were relocated to other location after pic taken.. in fact, one is on the purple transponder unit and is pipped.
Have to work.. can only check in.. this is TORTURE!
Nothing further to report except Olive responds to tapping on glass. I keep telling her to come out and see me.. she responds with a short 3 peep code..
Other pips sleeping.. still at 4.
Have 30 possible.
Excitedly Watching and Waiting
Pip #5 just discovered!
Olive is very vocal.. I saw her beak!
over
Decoding cryptic messages:
3 short peeps: all steady as she goes
3 long peeps: prepare the TWT
3 rapid, loud peeps: DANGER! ALIEN INFLITRATION ALERT!
Woohooo!!
I can't wait til all 30 are nestling ^_^
oh my how exciting!!
Special Agent of the chick inspection division reporting for duty!
Awaiting details of said mission.
Require update on modules current status.
reports of excited cries of joy...oh thats me!
Will await further instruction from op leader.
Mother Bird reporting 6 pips..
repeat
6 pips
Olive still sending messages...
over
Mother Bird wishes to express her gratitude for having nearly 24 hour consultant Expert Advice from Commander Catscan at the helm.
Thank you to all the chicken crew on the thread too.
loud and clear Mother bird.
Try to make contact with olive.
Do messages sound friendly? Can you determine if it comes in peace?
I have your back if it turns ugly.
over.
Sorry ZZ i have to go to town but i will be back later on. Got my fingers crossed and hope to see some bitty's when i come back. See yall later
Harmony
Safe trip Harmony! ;)
See you when you get back.
I have operation birthday tonight. 5 -12 yr olds :/ but I will check in frequently
Am seeing dark and darling head... Olive is going to see me soon!
Please pass the paper bag.. must slow breathing!
Olive WAS being deceptive.. HE is almost out
NPGC staff gave a great Yeaaaaaa! A la the Apollo Mission.
We are drinking Coke out of paper cups and slapping each other on the back!
This has been the first reported proof of concept for long distance (five miles) hatching module transfer. Mother Bird ZZ had set up a first class hatching unit and the 30(?) alien modules were moved from the Northern NPGC Base to the Southern NPGC Base still contained in the original landing vehicle Bator III.
Are we great or what?
I'm guessing that big head spot was what he was trying to hide..
WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO That is truly amazing!!!!!
OH NO! Now I see the blue male influence transponder sponge.. I'm doomed to roodooom.. Please tell me the purple transponder will dominate and bring forth feminine influence... (Not for olive.. it's too late)
Dont't judge the spot by it's size--it is the definition that indicates the sex. Boys tend to have big blurry ones......and you can't tell that til they dry and it is only with the barred and cuckoo patterns.
Errr...Over.
I had an assistant open the lid for the photo.. the temp and heat is fine.. I promise.. it was super fast..
Thank you Commander Catscan! I'm so nervous I don't know my own name.. LOL
OMG it looks pipperiferous in there now!!!! How many pipps now?
another peep.. soft and sweet.. closer to the purple transponder.. poppin out.. white egg.. can't see it yet.. second from the back..
Another one starting to zip.. brown egg.. in the front..
Can't count foggy window.. 6 pips for sure..
white egg black chick poppin out..
7 pips
what ever happened with the paper bag?
Krystal just yelled at me to chill... I was scarin the crap outta Olive
Its a pipp frenzy ^_^ They will must be so reassured to see and hear each other. Very soft peep translation:
'Hello, any else out yet?' (checking out the hood)
Oh man, I have serious egg envy of the pipped speckled one 2nd from the right in the back row. What is that egg? I love the speckles.
That one isn't making it Claire. :( It was the biggest.. it got stuck.
4 bouncing babiez.. or should I say 4 flailing balls of chick..
white egg white chick..
Olive egg, black baby
brown egg black little baby
tinted egg.. chipmunk color not all the way out of the bottom 1/2 of shell yet..
nothing else to report.. Have to stay in office.. will return after 5
SACID checking on progress of pipage.
Life forms appear to be lulling us into belief of helplessness.
This agent is not buying it!
The four emergents are surely encouraging the sleepers to emerge.
Is there such a thing as chicken Morris code? Short and long peeps?
That's what I'm thinkin sewincircle. Definitely code. What kind will the 'chipmunk' be do you think ZZs?
They are intellegant life forms for sure. I still fear they are stealing ours.
Watch them carfully and report any suspicious behavior.
Sounds like the chipmunk is either a partridge or a welsummer or something of that nature. Is the speckled one dead? That is very sad. If I suspect they are not making it, I usually help. Only if it has been pipped for a long time though.
