Chick that hatched this morning

All these pictures got my hopes up. I've been gone all day and hoped that I'm come home to see some pips. But no. Mine are going to make me wait the full 21 days, I guess. Should be tomorrow!

I went out to give them their first bowl of fermented chick starter and someone was very curious about me. Mama wanted to keep her tucked in and wasn't thrilled about her adventurous spirit.

YAY, congratulations everyone!

My last one to hatch (EE x EE) took very long - 2 full days after pipping. She ended up needing help even though I had her wrapped in a wet paper towel. She had some issues with her legs being stuck way out in front of her.

We did physical therapy by holding her legs in place for 20 mins every hour....

Now she can stand and walk on her own. We named her Flower because she was the late bloomer.

The other EE x EE


This is the first born, EE x SGD. We named her Nine because she had 5 toes on one foot and 4 on the other.

These are the EE x SLW. I'm thinking they're going to be golden laced?





And these are the EE x Cuckoo Marans
