A couple little ones ventured out this morning.

I have 3 broodies taking care of 5 chicks. My Satin, Princess, is taking care the of the fixed slay leg. My Showgirl, Cher, is taking care of 2 that needed help.

Dixie, not pictures here, is taking are of the first hatched and a little screamer.

Wholly snap! My hatch has been a nightmare!
6 eggs. Hatch day Saturday
1 chick hatched fine.
1 pipped at the wrong end and hatches with a little help splay legs cause she is a little piggy.
1 got stuck in the membrane and needed a little help.
1 hatches in the incubator cause it got kicked out of the nest. With lots of blood.
1 didn't pip so I pipped for it finished hatching yesterday.
1 died day 17/18
Phew!

Thats strange you had such a hatch weren't they under a broodie?

Under 3 broodies.....sometimes things don't workout under broodies...I still watch them under the broody girls. I moved them into the house. I learned my lesson letting them hatch in the hen house.
