so you will be happy to hear pip number two... Black Copper Marans #4 (right next to 5, must be a buddy thing)Woohoo! I know you have been as anxious as I was waiting for your chicks.
Well congrates. I knew everything would be fineI've got BABIES!! 8 out of 8 hatched!! black copper marans!! Mama Red takes such good care of them! it was pretty cold this morning but Mama took the hatched chickies to eat and was teaching them how at the same time as keeping them warm under her wing! Pics below!

Peeking out from mama's wing!
I have the most docile amazing Production red mama "Mama Red"... This is my first time doing the natural hatching thing and I LOVE it!! I did end up putting a himidifier in the brooder area last night because the humidity outside was around 40% and I had to physically help a chick escape a shrink wrapped membrane. The humidifier worked like a charm and all other babies were hatched under 10 hours from the first one!! Good luck everyone!!
