All three babies! One of them is already trying to crow! Anyone looking to buy a cute americana roo? lol

Oh how wonderful, look at those little peeping sweethearts. Do you expect the other . . . 2, was it? . . . eggs to hatch? I guess they would have already if they were going to.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while

One last update: All my babies are grown up





I believe they are americauna x production red. One mightttt be a hen, the other two are roosters. One hatched blind thats not a problem, hes the sweetest chicken. I'd say with some tweaks and a better thermometer, this would be a good hatching method for people with too much time on their hands

seriously, while these babies were incubating i became a mother hen.
i hope this was a learning experience for you all as well!

Wow. I've considered using a heating pad but I'm afraid of leaving it on when I'm not home.
