it is amazing. they were hatched by broody hens, stink eye the hen that was on the floor and would not be put in a caged area with her eggs hatched two so far. they look to be cochin bantams black with some white on them and look like little pengun's I moved her nest a bit and put a cage with no botom around her and her babies gave her food and water and she settled down and ate and ate and ate. she is happy and still setting on the nest. little red in the rabit hutch has one baby it is also a cochin and is black with yellow on the tips of the wings and some cute markings on the face

she is also still sitting on more eggs. I have been praying they would each get at least one for all there hard work. they let me hold them so I will try to post pictures. the other hens seem to be loving the babies but one rue we have was agresive and chased stink eye off the nest that is why I put the cage around her. I so hope they are hens....

woo hoo I am so glad for the momies they worked so hard

I'm going to candle again tonight, toss any bad ones then say LOTS Of prayers!
I have to leave for five nights!
so far tho my incubator has not varied more than .2 degrees, and the humidity is stable, with a huge self filling reservoir...
so, I'm hopeful!!! then, I'll be almost ready for lockdown when I get home!
:) happy hatching everyone!!!
