Everything that starts small is cute. But then it grows up...lol!I love the tiny bantam chicks too! We've hatched a few chicken chicks, only because the lady I got the eggs off took back any boys. Wish we could do it more often. Though my finches seem to be keeping me busy enough! Yes, it's a lot of work (6-7 weeks of frequent feeds) but I adore our hand reared ones.
Your babies are a lot cuter than mine at the moment!

Oh my gosh! Those are SO tiny! I'd be afraid to touch them...much less hold them. That's amazing!Here are my little helpless scraps of flesh. They get cuter when their feathers come in! But they are pretty cute when they squeak for food.

Aha...I saw you posted this. I was away that day...and it's been kinda crazy ever since.So how's the little chick doing now?
I brought home some lavender Orpington eggs from my farm that 2 broodies had been sitting on. They hatched 2 chicks on Saturday. On Sunday they were off the nest, because a black snake had gotten in my building. Chicks are fine. I did not see them on the nest Monday either, but i left the eggs anyway. So long story short, i have no idea how much or how little these eggs have been sat on since Saturday. But surprisingly, there are a few that still show movement. Soooo, i washed them (they were filthy) and popped 5 of them in the incubator this evening.
