It’s his first babies that are hatching as we speak! I can hear the first one chirping, only one has externally pipped so far, but several have internally pipped.😃

Oh my so exciting, I can't wait to see the little ones!!! :wee

Here's pics of my chicks now, I've really gotta delete some chick pics as I've gone crazy taking photos I'm at 94% capacity and I've got more hatching tomorrow!
..there are 2 chicks that keep jumping up on Smokey ☺️

I let the gate open and one of the chicks explored and fell off the ramp, mother hen didn't follow, 2 other hens started pecking the little cutie so I quickly picked him up and put him back safely with mumma.. I keep the gate shut now they'll have to stay in that little space for a while longer or only open it when I'm there - Smokey hasn't been out yet even when I have opened the gate she has no interest in leaving 🤷

Aww so adorable!!! I'm glad Smokey has been doing well with them despite the rocky start. 🥰

Smoky is a beautiful momma and those babies are 😍😍😍😍
 
Well now I have two that are pipped. First one is a silkie and looks like it is a paint, I can see the bright yellow down and light beak. I’m sleeping in the living room where the incubators are set up so I can hear them if they start to chirp loudly. It is almost 10 PM Hawaii time, I’ll likely be up in a few hours to check on them. Hope to post some photos in the morning!😊
