Well, of the four eggs I had left I got two babies. I have put the two of them under on of my broodies. They seem to be doing great. Here are pics of them:

The third baby was born deformed. It's beak was severly crossed and it only had one eye. Here is a pic of it before I got it all the way out. I did put it down. I don't think it could have ever lived like that. But it was a fighter.

And the fourth one was in the egg upside down and I tried to save it but it was wedged in there pretty good. I was just expecting a dead chick but when I realized it was moving, I tried to find it's beak and before I could get the head up, it had aspirated too much fluid. It was pretty and formed correctly. But I guess that is how it goes.

Anyway, hopefully I don't have two roosters or two hens, maybe one of each? What are the chances?

Thanks for looking.
