After a long struggle with my first hatch (9 failed, then added 5 more) 1 out of the 2nd set of eggs (5) pipped last night. I really didn't want to go to bed. I had to work today, so to bed I went.....


This is what I woke up to in the morning

I've got some better pictures now, but my phone died- can't upload them yet.
As for the chick's parentage- I'm not sure if mom is a g sebright or a gl Wyandotte banty. Dad is either a drk brahma bandam or a buff brahma bantam........

She's got dark legs w/ feathers, black all over except a whitish patch on the throat & a white butt. Anyone wanna guess parentage? I'm hoping GS X Dk B bantams.....My two sweetest birds!
This chick is TINY! And alone. Poor thing is going to be spoiled by the time my BCMs hatch in 2-4 days- they she will have friends & will be a bit bigger. Right now I still have her in the incubator w/ tiny food & water dishes. She's eaten & I've showed her where the water is a few times, but haven't seen her drink.
 
She's sleeping in her food dish now..poor thing. We put a stuffed animal in with her and I snuggled her up to it, but I think she's afraid of it!
 
So cute!! And she looks like she is watching the little happy dance fella at the top of your page!
 
Aww! She is SO cute and tiny!

I love that she snuggles in your hair... too much cuteness there! Congrats on your hatch
