Hatching. It had its first pip early this morning. Nothing until I came back from afternoon mass and it was breaking out, I touched it and it started trying to get out more and it only took a few minuites. I was worried what the broody would do. She saw that it had hatched and wouldn't get back on so I took the chick and put her in a brooder in my shower. I went and checked in again and she was back on the eggs. I am going to let the baby get a little bigger inside and then I will try to put them out as a family. I might take the next chicks that hatch and watch the broody. Has anyone ever done this before and then had the broody be a good mom, she isn't very agressive, she lets me stick my hands under her and everything. Some of my hens peck at me, not her. Anyway, so exited, enjoy the pics.
Husband with chick and chick on the table. A little over an hour after hatching. So cute!
