I can't wait to see more. I watched that last video where you can see one under her. Too exciting!

I know Cocoa is so glad to finally have the babies hatching out!

LOL we are glad too. Now maybe I can get some sleep at night! I have been up every night the last several nights watching the video feed and seeing if anything is happening! I guess I won't sleep tonight either though, cause I doubt they will be done hatching by then. But, maybe after that! LOL

I think 2 hatched.......

I definitely saw two at one time so you've got at least that many!!! The live cam is sooooo cool!!

 

[WestKnollAmy]

I keep running outside to feed chickens and missing stuff. I did get to see one baby earlier. Every time the wind blows or I hear the "pig" sounds I jump over to that tab to try and not miss things.
I gotta get all those chickens fed! LOL With 400 it takes a while.

I would rather be watching Cocoa!

I think I did hear you leave to take your kid to church. Cocoa is so tired, she barely looked up!

Hey, we are back. Still only two babies, from what everyone is saying. She hasn't shown them to us since we have been back. Poor Cocoa, I know she is tired. She has a long way to go if only two have hatched so far. That means she has 11 more possibles.

I hope we get at least half the clutch if not more. I know realistically, that they probably won't all hatch (and she already threw out 6 of them the last few weeks), but it would be great if more do hatch.

I really, really would love to keep a few if I can figure out which ones are girls.

Glad you are enjoying the live cam. We stopped at BJ's Wholesale club on the way home and my husband just got another cam to hook up for a different angle. It is a bit better than the one we have, as it is a couple of years old. He will try and get it hooked up tonight, I am sure. LOL

Enjoy!!

Thank you all for your support of Cocoa's babies!

P.S. Still haven't figured out what the "pig noise" is! We really don't have pigs!! LOL

 

[kitkatbahr]

LOL LOL LOL

Ok, I know what the "pig" noise is now. It is one of my drakes making his hissing quack noise very fast. Sounds almost like a heh heh heh heh sound but breathy if that describes it any. LOL

My husband just went out there and the drake started that and I heard it. It does sound rather "piggish" LOL

Funny!

Cocoa is going to need to take those first two out of the nest tomorrow and get them fed & watered. (Unless she's done so already) Do you have food & water close incase more do start hatching? These staggard hatchs can be tricky.
