They hatched!

AJ's "good thing" became a great thing yesterday as the eggs one of the chickens had been sat on began to hatch.

New arrivals and more coming


We now have 14 little fluffy chicks. The photograph above and the video below were taken yesterday in the middle of hatching.

Hi Barbro,

They are doing well. They have grown a lot and now not as fluffy as their feathers develop.

We put them in a bigger box and transferred them to the downstairs bathroom so we could have the study back again (and keep the cats away).

We think we may have 7 roosters (out of 15) - which is going to be difficult - as we may not be able to give them away to people and we don't want any more roosters.

I will have to do some more photos and video.

Sorry for the delay responding, but congrats on the chucks.

Not sure what to recomend for the roosters, what breed are they ?

Can't wait to get ourselves sorted with hens, need a mix of layers and growers. Probably have to wait till next spring now.
