5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

We know what the chicks say..but what does the.. _ _ _ say? In case you never heard it in 2013, you can't say you haven't heard it in 2014. I know if you could, some would reach right through the screen and smack me! But here goes!

Aaaaargh!

I love how they do what I call the paddle walk. They crawl along, and they use their wings like a penguin for a while. My DH just noticed that with this hatch. He laughs and says, they use their wings to help balance themselves, they walk like a penguin!
 
There are four out now, including the one that lost a lot of blood. The hatcher looks like a little slaughter house now. The bloody chick is clearly weak and lethargic. I moved it to a warmer corner away from the main airflow. I'll just have to wait and see if it makes it through the night
 
We have chickage!
:weee

Sparkle is a surrogate mother again! One of the two eggs has hatched. She was clucking and poking her head under her body, then a little head poked out from her feathers. It cheeped a bit, then snuggled back into Sparkle's feathers.
:love


She hatched this chick early; I was anticipating watching her and the Tournament of Roses Parade tomorrow morning as the eggs hatched.



So need pics of her under the tv.
This are such bad photos but they're what I could catch with my cell phone a few days ago and then right after the first chick hatched about 12 hours ago.
