Yay! Congrats! I've got four hatched now, one almost out, and all but one have pipped

This is my first baby, Aspen, who I think is a blue splash Marans.




And there's everybody else. I'm pretty sure the middle one is a male Cinnamon Queen, but not sure about the other two...we'll see when they dry off.

YES i agree i love the way you set it up! i now have 2 hatched and 2 more still zipping. the other 3 im not sure about but the 2 that have hatched are going everywhere crawing on the other eggs.

i've never seen baby chicks hatch before so this has deff. been an experience..

here comes number 3 pushing out! and my 2 year old son is amazed by all the action!

Thanks. The divider only works for a couple hours, until they get enough strength to hop on top of it. Then I have to move them or they might touch the heat coils on top and get burned.
My four year old's much more interested in holding Aspen, who's all dry and fluffy, then trying to compete with me peering into the window.

Haha yeah me and my husband are the ones fighting over who gets to watch..loll..my 2 year old gets right beside the bator and makes this clicking noise with his tounge when he hears them chirp..i have one more trying to escape i can see his beak quite well but he hasn't got the zipping on the ball yet..

already have the brooder nice and warm for them just waiting for the last one i know for sure to pop out and dry a bit then they will be moved to their bigger home!
