Chicks hatching!!! I have two... one is tufted!!!!!

[astylishgirl]

Well, after my disastrous first hatching experience, where I only got the Alien chick, my Hovabator is doing GREAT!!! I got home today to one perfect looking little araucana chick with tufts! By the time I had fixed myself a diet coke, another chick hatched! I have about 6 more pips, but I don't know if they will make it or not. After my first experience, it is hard for me to believe that they are actually pipping and zipping.

The weird thing is that they are not supposed to even pip until tomorrow. So this whole thing is just a mystery to me... LOL

So beside an araucana what other breeds do you have (including more araucanas)?

 

[astylishgirl]

Araucanas mostly. Now, the two chicks are moving around and knocking all the other eggs around. Should I take the chicks out?? Dang, I wish I knew more.

Congrats!

I love the little fluffy faced chicks! I just want to scoop them up and hug them all!

Congrats! Just started day 21, one pip and lots of peeps so far...Going crazy as it's out 1st...

Leave those 2 for a while. Their peeping is supposed to stimulate the other ones that are hatching. Also what else is there besides "Mostly araucanas"

 

[astylishgirl]

I am not sure what else! I think EE's and Ameraucanas! Some were just a mix from different peoples colorful eggs.
