Oh B'Gosh...First Hatch!! Pic Heavy..

Good job Kelley! I was wondering bout that thermometer too. I saw how it was against her little neck. How is the baby doing? Starting to settle on her tummy?

Yes, she is settling down on her belly. We now have 2 more pips! I'm not sure if they decided to pip on their own or if Pippen's bowling helped it along.

Yup, that's right, she (wishful thinking) already has a name! I started calling her Pippen when I was cheering her on.

I had to move Pippen into the brooder...she was pecking at the newly hatched baby. I don't think it was anything malicious, but she (

) had a little blood on her nose...maybe from the egg shell rolling around??? But I'd rather be safe than sorry.
 
Here's #2....

I tucked a mini teddy in their to give her some company.

I'm totally in love!

PS

There are at least 5 more pips. I'm trying to look to much (with flashlight) so the new baby can rest.
