Pulling my hair out!

Still NO pip on that little Polish egg!  I'm so scared that it isn't going to make it.  I want to help it but then today IS the hatch date so I know if I DO help it it may end up killing it.   I have to sit on my hands to keep them out of the bator!  If it doesn't hatch tonight I may candle again to see if it's still alive.  It was moving all over last night and its head was totally in the air sac...looked fine to me.  Maybe I'm overreacting??  I'm just like a worried mother here!  May sound silly to some people because it's a chicken but my other polish is SO nice and sweet and I really want to show this one at the fair next year as well.  OH kelly, I got a really nice compliment from a lady about my cochins I hatched from you.  She said they were some of the best cochins she has ever seen in person :D  She thinks I need to bring them to the show too!  I had planned on it anyhow.  Now I just need to do some studing up on shows.  I have NO clue how to begin showing!  I have a year to get prepared for it.  
Steele my male cochin has decided to start mating with the girl cochin lol  It was funny because she turned around and gave him one peck on the head and he lowered his head in shame and walked away so sad with his head hung low like he was embarrassed lol   Poor guy!   I really need to have my video camera handy for free range time.  Those chickens are so funny!  Everyone needs chickens!  Chicken TV is the BEST!

Ok I'm going to take pictures right now...well after breakfast anyhow, and will post them soon.  I want to get Phoenix's pic up.  I think I already know but would like Kelly's opinion on it.  Going down again to check on the baby...I hope there is a pip!  Anyone have a good name for my little Polish?  Names that will work with boy or girl?

I sure the little one will hatch and be just fine.  He or she is just taking their good old time.
