Guess what? CHICKEN BUTT! Speaking of chicken butts, look at this amazingly adorable one that hatched from my bator without me knowing at 12 at night!: Sophie!!!

She was all hatched out when I woke up to her peeping! I only went to bed two hours before!! I didn't expect it to be that fast! These pics were taken @ 12 last night. I think she has a bit of brown on her? These were taken this morning. Her feet and beak are pink, and her beak has a brown/black spot on it. And the fun isn't over- I have another pip! I am glad this hatching stuff is going over so smoothly this time around... I must have done something right! (the pip is on top of the 7- It is kind of a bright spot)

I know I am going to watch this one hatch since I missed Sophie. This one will be named Bell. (I think maybe I will name her Bella, because that sounds more easy to say in a sentence to me)

Congrats 3D!!!!!

Nope. She is still in the incubator sleeping. She is soooo quiet compared to how Hope was! She must be content. I don't think Hope really knows what is going on.

Congrats 3D!!!!!

Thank you! I really want to see one of my chicks hatch. I am going to keep looking in my incubator to check on the egg pipping.

OMG She has feathers on her legs!!! She must be part mystery breed!?! She is so cute- she is already preening herself!

Oh 3D! So happy for you! Good thing you have the day off today. Perfect timing! Wait a minute, was it today you had off or last Friday? Hopefully today...

I have today off.

What could the chick be a cross of with feathers on her feet?! Delawares, RIRs, Barred Rocks, and Ameracaunas all don't have feathery feet. I counted her toes and she only has 4, so probably not a silkie cross....

Well, If I get enough chicks out of this bunch of eggs, I won't need to hatch again (key word being "need." XD)

Okay, so far I have the possibility of her being a cochin or brahama mix.... ?
