Yay! Congrats!They are so funny. This batch is super feisty - I don't remember my last hatch being so manic so early! They don't want to be held but they do want to run all over my hand!
#9 just hatched for a 100% hatch rate! #9 was having trouble --I think the shell was extra thick or it was not positioned super well. I was about to go home and intervene (I'm watching on remote camera from work...) as it was taking 3 hours to zip but it just finished.
Got power in your coop/run?They are in an old rabbit cage with a premier 1 heater
I do but we like to play with them a lot when they are tiny - it's harder to do that out in the coop. Have raised several batches this way, and used to have them in the garage as in-between but had a weasel in the garage last winter so that's a NOPE.Got power in your coop/run?
Put them out there now.

Awwww! They are so cute! How exciting!I do have some pics! They are in an old rabbit cage with a premier 1 heater - not a heat lamp. On my washer and dryer in my laundry/bathroom they will stay there for a week or so and then go into a puppy playpen in the basement and then into my old coop before they get integrated with the flock. Two pullets are promised to a neighbor and we are keeping two and one boy is going to another neighbor. The rest I will sell/give away as we are full up
Are any of yours autosexing OP? I think my Marans are (should be even with a non Marans dad) and I’m trying to figure them out. I think I have 2 boys and 3 girls out of those 5. Plus I have a crested cream legbar that I’m sure is a girl because she looks exactly like her mom as a chick! Here’s the mom and the daughter.

Those chicks don't look close to 'exactly' alike.I have a crested cream legbar that I’m sure is a girl because she looks exactly like her mom as a chick! Here’s the mom and the daughter.
