Here they are this morning. Little by little they are becoming more perky

My son wasn't sure about them till I forced the chick to his cheek. When he realized how soft they were it was boom instant contact LOL

I am SOOO glad I didn't through these eggs away. They were a WEEK past due date, but they never smelt, just smelt like new incubator so I kept them in and OMGoodness!!! Haha. The chicks have a "rust" color at the back of their neck and wings.. Going to be pretty babies!!!

Yes and had another ameraucana chick hatch. There is another egg with another pip in it, I think Ameraucana MIGHT be Rhode Island Red.. It's had a pip in it for a good few hours now. So should see the chick soon I hope :).. Wow 2 chicks yesterday 3 today.. I'm a happy camper!!! Still have 15 left to hatch!
