I just want to thank everyone here for your help!!! Last Saturday/Sunday my babies were born - from two dozen eggs 9 beautiful chicks hatched. This was my first time and all the many posts of advice, plus my own few frantic posts answers with answers were a godsend! I love BackYard Chickens and wanted to let everyone know how helpful you were. My family spent almost 48 hours watching the eggs, and now watch our chicks constantly. We are in love with them. I have a website where I posted a video of one of the chicks hatching. (If anyone is interested - http://davidablack.blogspot.com/ scroll down.) Seems this is the chicken update page for family members near and far. Many many thanks!!! Davida
