It's taken two months but I finally have some peachicks.
The first ones to hatch two months ago were all killed by their chicken momma. She was a devoted broody though, so I gave her 8 more eggs. I took them and place them in the incubator the day before they were supposed to hatch. So far I have 4 chicks, with one more pipping.
The peachicks don't run from my hand like chicken chicks do. They actually seem to enjoy being held. I dip my finger in water, then dip it in starter. They like to peck the starter stuck to my fingers.
