We got chicks!

I love chicks! I got some Faverolle eggs from Bantyman (Mike) and they went into the 'bator three weeks ago. There was one pipped egg this morning and I heard some peeping. I checked on the eggs about three hours later and there was a chick running around - not from the egg that was pipped earlier. And there was another egg pipped. After the kids got home from school one of the birds made it out of the shell. Now we've got the egg that was pipped this morning. The little guy is making slow but sure progress and it looks like another egg has just started. This is our second successful hatch. I have spent the past hour just laying on the floor watching this guy try to break out. How sad is that?

Congratulations, sounds like a great hatch. That's not sad at all, some people like to stop and smell the roses, some like to stop and stare at chickens!!! Different strokes! Well done

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I did the same thing when mine were hatching...now I just sit and stare in the brooder. My kids and their friends say it is better than TV!! We sat and watched them for hours
