Yesterday was day 21 for my hatch. This is my first time so I don't know what to expect.
Anyways, the first chick to hatch did so while I was at work around 6pm. By the time I got home at 11pm, the chick was almost completely dry and walking around (well, clumsily). The second chick to hatch...

so i got my order of chicks from Murray McMurray hatchery yesterday. the mystery chick looks a lot like an EE, but i already ordered EE and from what ive gathered, they dont usually send a breed that is already in the order as the mystery chick. im wondering if maybe it is a speckled sussex? or...
