Never Hatched Before. Help?

[bobbieschicks]

Definitely let them hang out in the incubator if possible b/c it will stimulate the others to hatch hearing them chirping in there. Mine are acting like soccer players and kicking everyone else around - but I've notice a few more pips so I'm leaving them.

Congrats!

Here comes the fun part!....PICTURES!

...We didn't hear the first pip until they actually started hatching, so I never had enough time to move the tray out of there... I did remove it after they both hatched and had moved around a bit.

Moved both into the brooder when Mom got home... she says they are polishxsilkie (Polkies

One's feet curl a little bit, but mom thinks they will straighten out.
They have black feet, black beaks and their fluff is black and brown.

More pictures... Cause who doesn't LOOOOVE pictures???

Here they are at a couple hours old:

Here they are at a day old (That's not a normal sized spoon... It's a really big spoon... I wanted to give them water and I thought using that would be a good idea because it's very shallow):

I brought a silkie inside and she's been sitting on them... I was going to post pictures of her and the chicks, but she won't let me.

I know its exciting, but learn from my bad experience...leave them in the bator. I know in the pics you cracked it to take the pics and later they're in the brooder, but I shrinkwrapped mine before even though none were externally pipped.
