My first peachick ever!!! India Blue waiting for me in the 'bator when I got home from work yesterday. By 2 AM all six had hatched. Two chicks had splayed legs which had to be tied with yarn. One has corrected already.

Can I jump in here even though I didn't participate in any actual hatching?

I'm just very excited that our free-range peahen, Mom (we just call her Mom because she's the mother of a lot of the peas here) has just showed up with three little ones!

I have been anxiously waiting for this since she disappeared onto her nest!

I will try to get pictures.

Unfortunately, as many of you know, the danger of free-ranging is that those three might not make it through the next few days...
