1st homegrown baby chick! It's a bantam Araucana, hatched by my bantam Mille Fleur Cochin. Super excting day today and hoping the other 4 hatch tomorrow! I started with 9 (shipped) eggs and 4 did not develop, but I saw good veins and movement in the other 5 a few days ago, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

:hit oh we are sooo sad. We checked on him and he had one little leg out and topped his shell topper off. After we were for sure he was gone i went ahead and took his shell off. He never would have made it.....he had massive yolk not absorbed ......no way he could have made it. Oh it is just sooooo sad.

Ohhhh may I join too! I got my first egg to try this morning. My first egg from my New Hampshire Red. But not sure if this one is fertilized by Big Red (Rhoade Island Red) or Big Yeller (I'm still not sure what his breed is). Please comment if you know his breed LOL! Any way, I got them all seperated now. So hopefully this little chicky will hatch and I will have a cutie pie mixed breed.

and hopefully will have some more! One pipped this morning and it is so so hard not to just sit and stare at it!
 
Only one hatched out of my 23 shipped eggs. Black orpington - very strong chick. Had problems with my rcom 20 - couldn't get it to temp. My girls are very sad that none of the silkies hatched (they were very scrambled).
