How exciting. Well done and congrats!!! Post some pics when you can. I can't wait for mine. 2 more weeks.

My first hatch all died at the last minute zippy, so these are so precious to me. Come on little chick, and good luck with your hatch.

I have a chick! It is wet and tired, but I have a chick

i am so so pleased for you. wet and tired is normal. they are weak for a few hours and fall over a lot.

Now then, listen closely. This is very important.

SIT ON YOUR HANDS.

You are at a dangerous stage. For some folks they experience the overwhelming urge "to help" if a chick is not progressing at what they believe to be an appropriate rate. Don't do this. Just sit on your hands and let nature takes it course.

Of course you can take photos. You are already aren't you? Don't deny it. We all did.

Have a drink of something good and relax. Enjoy the show.

They are due tomorrow Esther. The little hatched one is falling over like a drunk lol. I am hoping a silkie comes soon. It`s the maran chicks that are in the lead so far.It is so exciting.

A T, I can`t take pics. The flash is reflecting off the perspex/ plastic window thing. It will have to wait till they can come out I think. Booooooo! Hands being sat on.
