September 2015 Hatch-A-long!!

[GitaBooks]

My friend came.over and confirmed that her bantam cochin rooster and her lavendar laced cochin are the breeds that the two came out so far. I am pretty sure the jersey giant is a dud but I'll give that egg a few days to be sure and the others should hatch by tuesday. Maybe because the rooster is bantam they hatched sooner?

Some bantams do hatch at day 19, though mine were irritating enough to wait until day 21. Lol.

How awesome!
It's crazy how the chicks break open their shell and make their way out. Complicated process and we just watch!

Day 20. Hopefully it's strong enough to make it. I'm not confident the other 5 will hatch.

So precious, that little chick. I hope its siblings make it.

Two more pips, but one in the narrow end. I'm ready to assist if needed. I am thrilled with that many potential chickies. My son named our first chick already. Mongatsika. If you've seen Zoboomafoo you may have heard it before. It means, I can't believe my eyes. Amazing!

Hope everything is going okay and you have a healthy crew soon!
