Just a quick update...

I was up all night with the hatch. Had 2 EE chicks that I had to help from the shells, they are doing well and resting comfortably with their other siblings in the small brooder at this time.

Skip was bummed as there was no action from the Silky eggs all day and the bator had been quite as opposed to yesterday. We just got done watching "Into the Wild", when I decided to check the bator again. Lo and behold we have 2 zips in the Silky eggs! It's gonna be another long night!!!

Finally...pictures of Skip's first hatch...

This chick was the star of the show as he actually got to watch her bust loose from the egg and cheered her on the whole time...the blood was a freak-out for him, though...
