The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

I found a newly hatched chick out of the nest box today. It was limp as a rag. Thought it was dead. I picked it up, and talked to it. It opened its eyes, and then closed them. He felt cold. I took him into the house and put him in the incubator. Later in the day I came in for a break and there was a chick peeping really loud. It was him! Settled in with the other chicks.
Nice Save!

Someone posted that they are not dead until they are warm and dead
 
Lots of cuteness to share.

The lady let me know 2 eggs had hatched under her broody so we picked them up today. It's a week until our lone egg hopefully hatches (it's still going strong). They've been a bit noisy but have finally settled into their cuddle cave I made them. They are tiny little OEGB. The bigger one hatched about a day and a half before the little one. What a difference a day (and a half) makes.

This is the duckling that hatched all by itself. It is gorgeous.

This baby needed help. It's quite a character and often jumps which is hilarious. I love the yellow around its eyes.
