Here is my first chick

And God saw that it was good.  God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." Gen 1:21-22

I hear peeping!!!! wee.gif

 

One egg has pipped (That's where the initial crack is, right?  I'm still getting used to the correct terms) and another one is rocking back and forth a little.  I was so worried that I'd somehow killed all my eggs, so, it's really nice to see some action in there!

 

Come on, chickies!  It's time to show your fuzzy little butts!  jumpy.gif

Currently on the warpath to hunt down whichever "upstanding citizen" stole my last 10 chicks out of their coop at 10 weeks old.  Be afraid.

 I had 15 hatch so far with 13 of the remaining 15 pippe.  It was amazing, I saw the first cracks on one of the eggs late lastnight, and when it finally emerged and made some chiping...it was like the signal to everyone else to start and there were pips everywhere!  It has been a fun day and going to go check one more time before bed...

 

Good luck,

 

Joe

So far, I have 1 hatched, 3 pipped (maybe 4; but, I can't get a good view) and the rest are just sitting there. The little chick that hatched around 4 am is black (maybe some light spots?) And came from a green (olive?) egg. The chick keeps peeping out her support to those pipping. It's so cute!

We've got 5 chicks that I "snatched" this morning and put in the brooder. None of th other 7 eggs have shown any pipping; but, I'm going to let them go another couple days in the incubato (just to be safe). These little guys are adorable! I'll post pix when I'm on the computer instead of my phone.
