Blaundee is correct that only 2 eggs hatched. Unfortunately one of the chicks was dead yesterday morning. There was no sign of trauma or pecking, but it was outside the crate so I don't know if it possibly got out in the middle of the night & got too cold. I went to the feedstore & got 3 barred rock chicks so the remaining chick wouldn't be alone. My broody accepted them without problems. I locked them all in the crate together last night to try to avoid any further losses.
Here's a pic with the chick from balundee's egg on the left:
Here's a random pic w/ cute chickee butt:
I'm quickly learning chicken math! I currently have Welsummers, Speckled Sussex, Brabanters, Easter Eggers, Dark Brahmas... and an ever increasing list of other breeds I'd like to try.
