well they can be, but eggs are what the baby eats in the shell, so its like saying breastfeeding is cannibilistic.

Our first baby chick with his shell:

Here he is taking a poop:

His name is Chirpy:

He loved the scrambled eggs.

Cute baby, and great photos. What kind is he?

Fantastic photos!!
Put some marbles in the water dish so he can't drown in the water. You can put a small stuffed animal or a feather duster in the brooder to keep her company.
Congrats!

AWESOME! yeah, i can totally relate to not believing a chick would come out of an egg i have in my hand. certainly an egg in a chicken nest, but not one i got from a box or carton. Have you mentioned where you got the two eggs?

It is completly amazing that what I crack into a skillet in the morning can becoem this in 3 weeks.

We got the eggs from our chickens. His dad is a Barred Rock and his mom is either a barred Rock, Black or Rhode Island Red, we are not sure.

Well it worked. I'm not one for prior planning. But I can do the pictures part(my profession), he is due to have studio portraits made this evening.

And I bet a professional photo shoot takes some planning, doesn't it? GREAT photos.
