Show off your australorps!

[alexa009]

Today is my hatch day on my 5 remaining Australorp eggs in my incubator. The first one is now trying to peek out of it's shell. It's looking like a darker color, so maybe it will be the Black Australorp pullet that I am hoping for?

I'll wait until they have all hatched out, and then take a group pic!

Edit: A little bit more of the chick is showing now, and it's head is starting to dry. It's not a Black, but another Blue Australorp.

Did your baby chicks hatch yet?

Sorry, I am so curious.

Did your baby chicks hatch yet?

Yes, 2 of them have. One is definitely a blue, and the other one looks like it's an even darker blue (almost black?). I have already moved those 2 down to the brooder that my incubator sits on top of. I have 3 more eggs left to hatch that are due to hatch tomorrow, because I put them in a couple days later than the other ones. I am hoping for the black girls because I already have enough blues.

I will after the other ones hatch. I have to use a big dsl camera to take the pic. I don't have one of those smart phones that have a camera built into them.
